@@northwestrushoutdoors lol yeah good dude

I’m sure it will not with a 20” barrel

This 7prc with a 24” barrel will hit the 3000 number no problem but I got the shorter barrel for adding a can.

@@ridgelinehunting point is why not run a standard caliber ? 7 PRC is no better than many others with a short barrel, does nothing better at those velocities except costs more to shoot....

@ you might be surprised...

@@lrlapua8035 yeah you can get away with something better that’s for sure but that’s not why I got it.

@@shanewinters3009 the Garmin is way better keep watching.

Don’t think there was a shot at 2400

It was my chronograph

If you keep watching I get a new chronograph and shoot again.

From what I have learned if you’re not going to hand load don’t get a short barrel. 😂

Thank you hope next time we can show a elk down and tag filled..

Thank you so much yeah we hunt the jungle of the PNW it’s thick.

I Sub’d as well

@ Thanks! 😀

Thank you for watching and yes little different up here in the PNW..

@@jeffbaker5038 yep but I didn’t buy it for that.. it will still have what I need just wanted to get the numbers out there..

@@jeffbaker5038 thanks for the comment but we will see what I can get made up. The recoil was not to bad.

@@ridgelinehunting whenever I consider recoil, I always think no brake no suppressor, for worst case scenario. In my case, I have pretty severe neck issues that I have recently learned are ill affected by high recoil. I am not recoil sensitive, and have owned several magnums in the past, but higher recoil now makes my neck hurt. I have had to change my thinking to most performance with least recoil. The 7mm-08 shines in this arena, and it is plenty at the ranges I'm willing to shoot at an animal. Deer sized game 400 and under, I'll use my 6mm ARC.

@ yeah and that’s understand for sure well good luck and I’ll have more data on the Ruger here soon but yes if you looking for that high speeds don’t buy this rifle at all they do have a predator model with a 22” barrel now, they didn’t have it when I got this one.

Yeah I’m not sure but I still like the rifle it’s accurate.

It’s a 20inch barrel and a Garmin chrono it’s the powders in Hornady at the time.

@@accur81 we will see what I can do with some hand loads here soon..

@@ridgelinehunting Hope it works out! I know videos aren't easy to make.

@ it’s just finding the time really and the weather is trash right now.

It was not far but yeah the hoof rot was bad on this one.

@@antoniorose2461 Hornady app it’s free

Hahaha speed with shorts on + 10 reliability bomb proof

@ that’s good to hear.

@ lol

yes i was just in the wrong spot it been almost 10 years since i hunting that area..

@ have you been up in the Nile unit at all?

@ I have not

@@johnmusso5526 I have hunted all around it lol just took a look at my onx

yeah if your looking for speed dont do what i did and get the 20"

See you there brother yeah sucks… 😂😂

Did it like factory ammo?

@@Ryan_YoungUSA I think so I think it kick like a .308 really shoot fantastic and accurate. My 12 year old shot it with no problems

@@ridgelinehunting perfect ty so much

@@Ryan_YoungUSA yes the ELDX and match and the federal ELDX shot sub MOA groups.

@ anytime

@@rickymaynard4880 yeah it is but I’m going to see if I can get it back with some hand loads.. but also going to see if there is a factory load in a smaller grain that will get me closer to 2850-2900 so we will see more videos to come.

I’m sure if they do a new go wild it will. They have the predator now as well with a 22” barrel.

Alot of suppressor guys are wanting shorter barrels.

@ that was my plan as well

@hunternichols5597 they do just not for Ruger the Ruger American predator comes in a 22” barrel it was not out yet when I picked this up.

@@roninpaintball9746 thank you

I will get there I have all the composites to do it just need the time.

Yeah that’s the difference 24vs20 yeah my groups are sub moa groups are fine.

25fps per inch, that's a fair exchange

@ it’s closer to 50 but yes it’s not bad for what I got the rifle for and that’s the back country and it’s thick here on the westside of Washington.

Yes 20” barrel recoil is not that bad at all.

@@flaganpetska6179 how long is the rifle barrel?

I used 2 chrono’s with the ELDX and it was the powder form Hornady

@@CiviTac I never did it previous to this one so I gave it a shot lol

@ my father in law still does it while I get more trigger time and waste less time cleaning lol. His rifles don’t shoot any better or worse than mine haha

@ hahaha

I think so but we will see lol

I’m going to see what I can get with 160 grain.

@ridgelinehunting am sure they will do better

@@davidlantz4560 yeah trust me I was like ok my 308 is faster then this lol.

@@ridgelinehunting yeah I know I was shocked when I was watching it...but l been watching alot of 7mm PRC videos an they are all kinda slow....like I said about my old 30-06 is on average going 2825 or so ...I was thinking about a new gun in the 7mm PRC but I think I'll just stay with what I have....thank for the video

@@davidlantz4560 no if you go 24-26” barrel you will be fine with the speeds..

@@hedgeapplehomestead2816 it was the powder from the round if you keep watching. And I was hitting 2800 with the federal (not on this video)

@@jeff9062 that’s next for sure thanks for the comment

​@ridgelinehunting you will lose BC though with copper bullet, food for thought,

The 7mm PRC was designed to run heavy for caliber bullets. Most are shooting 175 and 180s with favtory ammo and even up into the 190s with hand loads. This isn't a 7 rem mag he's shooting. It definitely isn't a round built around a short barrel. Test barrels are 24" and they perform best out of a 26" barrel.

@ yep..

Looks like it right hahaha oh well

@@BZE_Fishin it was more of this is going into the back country in the PNW woods so I was thinking the shorter barrel would be nice when hiking into the woods with the rifle in the pack to keep it from getting snagged on stuff but really should have gone for 24” barrel..

@ …that was kind of my point. I wouldn’t get too caught up on speed. Handloading will surely give you a bit more but, the PRC will shoot true and carry a punch within reasonable distance. If the 7MM Backcountry proves out then you’ll have the short barrel and hot-rod speeds you are looking for…time will tell.

They need the option for a longer barrel. However, unless someone is shooting elk at 400 yards a 20in will be more than enough velocity to take medium-large sized game in the U.S.. I shoot a lot of long range and don’t think that 90% of hunters are capable of shooting a 1MOA 5 shot group at 100yards. They definitely aren’t capable of hitting any sized target at 500 either. So therefore a 20in is fine for most guys. Now I doubt you’re one of those guys if you care about barrel length which means you’ll likely agree with me haha

@ the have the predator model now that is 22” but that was not an option when I got this one.

Yeah I’ll be starting here soon hope to have a video up here in the next couple months. Also thank you for the great comment need more like this one..

I am aware of follow through and I will work on it, thanks for the comment.

Haven’t shot a rifle in a bit been bow hunting the past 12 years..

If you keep watching I bring that up as well so thanks

The federal shot a bit faster but still low.

Depending of the factory ammo, you can lose between 25 up to 75 fps by inch of barrel....

@ and it adds up fast

Hornady cannot get Reloder26 for this ammo. Sad but true. I bet federal has tons of 26 for the 7BC!😂

Facts this is true..

Man, so many guys bitching in the comments. I think this is a great inexpensive rifle for most hunters on this continent. The amount of dudes whining about velocity is wild as if they need a ton of power out to 500yds 😂

@ ​​⁠yeah I got the 20 for a purpose not for bench shooting back country hunting. Here in the PNW it’s like a jungle in some area’s and hiking in with the rifle in the pack it can get in the way with longer barrels so the thought around it was it wouldn’t get snagged as much lol.

@@soupie31547 yep this is a 20” barrel

@@ridgelinehuntingsounds about right though. Around 50fps per inch.

@@soupie31547yeah I got it for back country hunting here in Washington state didn’t want a long barrel getting snagged on stuff. So my goal is to find a load or a hand load that will get me around 2900 with this barrel so we will see.

@@ridgelinehunting…good luck. Without barrel length you won’t see anything close to 2900. That said, the gun will serve you well as the BC will help a lot!

Yes that barrel is 6inches longer. That’s why the 7PRC makes sense because it makes more of the 20in barrel than the .308 would but still keeps it compact

@@Accuracy1st in the vary first clip that’s what was being done was cleaning it. So that was done.

Thank you!

@@maurogarcia6512 it’s all in the video it’s a 20” barrel and it’s all stock Ruger gen 2.

@@maurogarcia6512 I would need to look up barrel type from Ruger but it’s not a light barrel. Standard gen 2 barrel.

@@maurogarcia6512 Ruger America gen 2 is the rifle.

@@maurogarcia6512 I know I would have a drop in velocity so that was expected from the 20” barrel I’m trying to see if I can find a load closer to that 2900 fps without doing a hand-load and still being close to a round that is 175grain.

That is 7 mm Mauser stuff. Really weak

@@northwestrushoutdoors yes but new videos are coming soon.

@@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984 so the plan for the shortened barrel was to get a can for it in the future so that’s why I went shorter. I’m loosing right around 200fps I would say on factory loads I’m cooking up a hand load that I will be testing here soon. Weather here is crap so I want to have some good video to share so stay tuned..

@@HalfGasQuestions thanks buddy for the comment.

Yeah for sure thanks Nic for the comment.

@@northwestrushoutdoors thank you

@@northwestrushoutdoors yes so do I lol need some meat in the freezer.
