Way too big for F Class in my opinion (and others I know). It’s a considerably larger case and is probably excessive to target shooters needs. But who knows, I’m sure we will see some on the line at some point…How do y'all think the new standardized 7PRC from Hornady is going to fit in?
I've been following. Good stuff, I'm one of your Patreon members.Not sure if this helps anyone but here’s my latest series on developing a 6.5-7mm variant this past month or so.
New Cartridge 7mm-3DP (based on 6.5 PRC brass) Load Development Part 1 (NOT 7 PRC)

I have bought a 7-08 Forster Micrometer seater which my gunsmith will run the reamer through for bullet seating...now if only I could get my hands on a barrel...Which inline seater are shooters using?
You can use a 7 RSAUM Wilson in-line seater with minor modifications. The base-to-shoulder dimension on the PRC case is .030" longer. There are a number of ways to skin that cat, the easiest among them is searching for a stainless washer 1" OD 9/16" ID of the proper thickness (1/32" will do the trick) and drop it onto the seating die base. Before it occurred to me to try the washer solution, I chucked the seating die base into my benchtop lathe, chucked a 9/16" end mill into the tailstock and ran it in .031". The goal in any method is to provide dimensional relief in the immediate neighborhood of .030". The washer trick works just fine, it's inexpensive, and requires no material investment in time.Which inline seater are shooters using?
I honestly don’t know yet. I have three barrels and haven’t shot any of them out yet and two of them are over 1000rds.
I should also say at Nationals I took 6th at mid-range using a barrel that started the match just under 1000rds at the time and brass that was on its 10th and 11th firing. That same barrel which was well over 1000 by the time long range came helped me take 16th place. Zero issues with loss of accuracy so far. We will see how long they shoot but I have a good feeling.

It only matters if you can get brass and primers. If not it is all academic.
I have not been able to get 30-06 Sprg., 284 Win, 6.5-284, 6CM, 6.5CM, 300 Win Mag, 338 Win Mag, 308 Win Match Grade or low grade, 6.5 Grendel, 45-70 Govt., 260 Rem, 35 Whelen, 8x57 Mauser, 6.5x57 or any other brass I need to reload for about 1.5 to 2 years now. What I have I got before that time. I have plenty of bullets and powder and I have plenty of Magnum primers. I am not buying any more powder or bullets until I can get more primers and brass.
Today I looked at over 30 different calibers of brass on Graff & Sons and all of them were out of stock!
Not doing any new builds in new cartridges or old which sucks for gunsmiths until I can get brass and primers. Not buying any new barrels either. Not traveling to compete either. If I can not enjoy my hobby no one else will profit from me either!
I thought about wishing, praying and hoping that all the guys hording brass and primers would burn in hell forever but then I took that back since it does not seem Christ like!
The hobby is disappearing because some of you are terrible human being and hoard. Stop it! The entire industry is being hurt because so many of you you old worthless humans are hoarding primers, brass, and ammo. No one needs to buy a new rifle if they can not get ammo and components! Few will compete if they can not afford ammo because you are driving up the price through hoarding!
Idiots have driven the new car and truck market prices into insanity! The repo market is now at an all time high and climbing due to it! How much is enough?
Rant over God Bless!
