One cartridge that has peaked my interest in the past year is the 7mm PRC designed by Hornady. I am a fan of the 280 Remington with a 22 inch barrel and I could never quite get into the 280 AI because it has a 40 degree shoulder and is usually chambered in a 24 inch barrel. If I was going for a 280 AI with a 24 inch barrel I would probably just buy the 7 mm PRC instead. I once owned a 25-06 improved and for some reason I went back to the standard 25-06 because I didn't like the case. The truth is that I'm not much into overbore cartridges. The 7mm PRC has a 30 degree shoulder which should allow it to feed smoother. It also allows for seating the bullet so that the base of the bullet is not coming back into the powder area. I like the idea of this cartridge with a 9 twist using 160 grain bullets. Although I'll probably never own a rifle for this cartridge I hope it catches on.
