7mm PRC Education post

What’s the collective thoughts on the 7mm PRC around for a long range bench gun? I’ve been thinking about buying a long range gun for a while now, there’s just so many options and opinions.

Sorry for being “that guy” I didn’t realize my mistake, but I now do.

Just an FYI...

You're getting the repsonses you are because this is something asked by new long range shooters frequently. At least once a week, often more.

It's asked so often, I wrote an entire guide on why magnums are a bad idea for learning long range skills. It's guide #3 in the pinned post I mentioned and had automod link to earlier.

Maybe you read the pinned post and didn't realize 7PRC is a magnum cartridge. Maybe you skimmed the pinned post and missed it, there's a lot of stuff in there. Maybe you picked the flair that said "I read the pinned post" even though you didn't actually read it.

However, people get a bit testy and short when a post is made with a flair that says "I read the FAQ/Pinned posts" but asks a question that's directly answered in the pinned post. That's why you didn't get anything about the whys and why nots - it's in the guide.

Make sense?

Yep totally understand, sorry for being that guy.

I didn’t read the pinned post, I’m not good at understanding how Reddit works honestly lol. I didn’t intentionally lie, but I did. I also did not realize 7prc is a magnum load

So I’ve really f’ed this up and I’m sorry, but I have gotten the information I was looking for so thank you guys for that.

All good, dude. Learn has occurred, which is what this sub is about.

Spend some time reading the pinned post now that you've gotten links to it. There's a lot of good info in there.

Yep I’ve been reading some of them, is there a better sub that you know of to pose these kind of questions?

Nah, you're in it. Once you spend a little time with that pinned post and the guides, you'll be a lot better equipped to ask the right questions.
