About the 7mm PRC
The 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) was introduced by Hornady as a modern answer to long-range performance in a compact magnum footprint. Built with today's precision shooters and hunters in mind, it offers incredible efficiency, superior flight characteristics, and effective terminal energy without the recoil of older magnum cartridges. It fits in standard long actions and is designed to launch high-BC 7mm bullets at optimal velocities.

Why the 175 gr ELD-X?
Best-in-Class BCs
The Heat Shield® tip defies aerodynamic heating to maintain a consistent meplat and ultra-high ballistic coefficient across the entire trajectory.
Match-Accurate Hunting Design
The ELD-X pairs a streamlined secant ogive and optimal boattail profile with Hornady’s AMP® jacket for exceptional concentricity and repeatable long-range accuracy.
Devastating at All Ranges
-
At closer ranges (0–400 yards), the bullet produces rapid and violent expansion while retaining 50–60% of its weight for deep penetration.
-
At extended ranges (400+ yards), the Heat Shield tip initiates expansion even at lower velocities, with 85–90% weight retention and mushrooming for clean kills and deep penetration.
Temperature-Stable Powder
Each load is developed with propellant blends that minimize temperature sensitivity, giving you consistent velocities and performance regardless of elevation or weather.
