PODCAST: Gunwerks Talks Shop About the New 7mm PRC Cartridge

We’ve recently been hit with a wave of new rifle offerings featuring the recently announced and SAMMI-approved 7mm PRC cartridge. This new cartridge is intended to provide big game hunters with better accuracy at longer ranges and the folks over at Gunwerks have just released a new episode of their Long Range Pursuit Podcast to help introduce the new cartridge for those who are curious about it. This podcast is about an hour in length and goes over the entire development history of the cartridge and also compares it to some other popular long-range hunting cartridges that are already on the market.

More from Gunwerks @ TFB:

Aaron, Landon & Neal Introduce the new 7 PRC cartridge from Hornady. They discuss specs and ballistic performance and compare it to the variety of popul ar 7mm cartridges including the 7 SAUM, 7 Rem Mag, 7 LRM and 28 Nosler. Aaron recounts the history of the introduction of the Gunwerks 7 LRM and its relation to the eventual introduction of the 7 PRC, comparing and contrasting the two and answering a variety of questions on peoples’ minds regarding the new 7mm offering and its applications.

Gunwerks is also offering their Nexus Rifle system in this new hot cartridge which comes in at a predictably high asking price. The NEXUS rifle system does away with a lot of the limitations perceived by many regarding the Remington 700 platform and provides the user with a streamlined and future-proofed platform perfect for long-range hunting work.

The result of over 2 years of research and development and massive investment in manufacturing infrastructure & technology, the NEXUS is the first fully vertically integrated rifle system coming out of Gunwerks’ state of the art facility in Cody, WY.

The 7mm PRC NEXUS rifle features either a 20 or 24″ stainless steel carbon-wrapped barrel, weighs in at around 7 pounds depending on the barrel length selected, and the action itself is made from 7075 aluminum and finished off with a Type 3 hard coat anodizing. Each one of these rifles comes right-handed only and will set you back about $9,000. If the 7mm PRC cartridge really takes off with all these new rifle releases, the Gunwerks offering is sure to be a hot pic for discerning customers looking for a technologically advanced hunting rifle in this new cartridge.
