7-6.5PRCW load data

[Willow]

Here's another question - Anyone out there know what Erik Cortina has done differently with his 7LLB which is based off the 6.5 parent case?

 

[Richard Casey]

My understanding is they modified the case dimensions of the 7prcw. I communicated with Jay Christopherson a while back. He was not specific about what changed but I was not interested in having to replace all my dies with custom made.

Is anyone using 180gr hybrids with a 1:9 twist barrel, running approx 2850 fps on this cartridge?

Yes

I'm running a 9 twist in my 284 using that bullet going less than 2800 with no problem.

Same, in a 280AI… 2830

For those shooting Lapua brass, are your fireform loads a bit lighter that comp loads? I will be shooting N555.

I have always felt like this is a good approach

It's been my experience that going .2 grains lower when using virgin brass and fireforming seems to put me right where I was with fired brass. Just my experience.

I am new to this forum. I am planning to purchase a hunting rifle with a 20.87" barrel in 7-6.5 prcw and intend to use Hornady CX 160 grain ammunition. Would StaBall 6.5 or StaBall HD be suitable for this? Does anyone have any experience with these or any recommendations?
