Well last Oct I read the first article on 7PRC and then started doing more research. The 7PRC with 175gr pills actually starts out performing the 300WM pretty quickly. It does it with less recoil also. After looking at quite a few article and then reading first hand results online I ditched taking my 300WM and decided to send in a 6.5PRC to be re-barreled in 7PRC. Ammo is out there. Over the last month or so I've been able to obtain 200 rds of 175gr ELDX. I'm starting to reload so I'll use the brass for future reloading. I should have my rifle back in about 3 months then I'll start shooting it. The 7PRC looks like it will do everything and more than the 300WM at the same bullet weights.
