What Is the 7mm PRC?
Introduced by Hornady in 2022, the 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge (PRC) was engineered to maximize ballistic performance with heavy 7mm (.284) bullets. It offers a modern case geometry designed for consistent ignition, minimal throat erosion, and optimal chamber alignment. The 7mm PRC is already gaining popularity among long-range hunters and competition shooters for its efficient powder burn, excellent recoil profile, and superior flight characteristics compared to legacy magnums like the 7mm Rem Mag or .300 Win Mag.
