A quick thank you for those that helped with the data discrepancy I had going on with my 7PRC before season. This round hits hard! Colorado public land 4th season. This guy tested my patience and we took it right down to the end of the day before he gave me the opportunity.

Update after a "brief" range trip. 1) New Garmin Xero 2) Last year's load provided through Q/L - Apparently Q/L uses a longer COAL than the Viht manual which accounted for the higher powered charge. A stiff charge of N570 & 175gr EH yielded a 5 shot average of 3186.9fps. Slightly over the...

Thanks JD, I'm going to have a hard time beating that one. We dropped it off at the taxidermist today. Hope all has been well with you and the family!

Hope to know that this weekend, and will report back then. Thanks for the info.

So true about the chronograph. I'm going to need to do a bit of updating in that department. Too difficult to go to the range now and set one up out in front of the benches. That Garmin has caught my eye. Hope to have good data to run with next weekend. It's been too long - thanks again!

Fall season is off to a good start. My wife took a girls trip to MO earlier this month and put a doe & this guy in the freezer.

CO archery season is about done this year and time to move on. I didn't have much time to work on loads last fall for the 7PRC and now that I have time, I'm seeing some concerning max load variances. Has this been typical since the inception of this round? I was provided quick load data last...

I'd agree with what Guy has stated. I and my family have shot quite a few elk with 140gr Elite Hunters out of a .260 Remington to 190VLDH / 205 gr Elite Hunters out of a .300 RUM. Most ranging between the 325-400 yard mark with the exact results Guy has mentioned. No pass through with massive...

Grip and grins are the best no matter the take method. Girlfriends first archery elk hunt, and was able to call it a success. 8 total days above 11,000 feet and sealed the single shot taken on day 6. Great team effort on getting the young bull back to camp the following day.

Great photos Alderman - it's been a bit of my summer-time passion as well.

Just moved into a new place out of the city in May. I wish I could say I hiked 16 miles to get these photos, but they are off the front deck.

Ok, delima folks.......... Due to multiple factors in front of the CO elk herd this year, I chose to put the bow in the closet and........... yes, draw a second season bull tag. With that said, i haven't added a new round to the safe in years, so enter stage right....... Seekins PH2 7PRC. I...

Congrats in the late season.

Time for the yearly post. Hope all my old friends on here are doing well and happy upcoming holidays to all! No complaints from the 2022 season, short of I ate one CO mule deer archery tag, 1 archery bear, 1 rifle bear, 1 cow elk, 1 bull elk, and 1 Kansas archery tag. No tags filled but the...

Phenomenal photo !
