Q About Factory 7mm PRC Ammo

I am planning to buy a 7 PRC and will be shooting factory ammunition until I have a chance to begin reloading. I hear mixed reviews of the Hornady Precision Hunter 7mm PRC 175gr ELD-X Rifle Ammo. In fact, I have heard good and bad about other ammunition made by Nosler, Remington, etc. It seems opinions vary widely on the pros and cons of factory 7 PRC ammo. Reloading is my ultimate goal, but for now I would appreciate advice on the best factory loads for breaking in a 7 PRC and for hunting big game.

Factory ammo is a crapshoot. Yes some brands are better than others, but you really just don't know until you try it. What works in your buddies (identical) rifle may shoot like junk in yours.
 
You'll have to try different ammo to see what you're rifle likes. If it shoots it well I would use the Hornady match with the 180 eldm. From what I've seen the eldm is a great hunting bullet. I have not used the 180 but others have been good
 
You might try contacting the rifle manufacturer, if they have an accuracy statement, they should have ammo suggestions.
Nosler and Norma have ammo, could be better brass for future reloading.
