Hello,
I'm definitely very new to this stuff so go easy on me
I'm just wondering how easy/what needs to happen to turn a 7mm Rem Mag into the 7PRC?
I have a newish tikka T3X polyfade edition that I'd consider changing into the new 7PRC as a fun project. I know I'd have to change the barrel to probably a 1:8twist but don't know what other work would have to be done by a gunsmith.
Besides being kinda fun to do I think it would be advantageous as I could probably get a shorter barrel (22 vs 24) and shoot heavier bullets with better velocity.
Additionally I am getting into reloading so ammunition shouldn't be a problem.
I currently hunt elk, moose, deer and bear with my 7RM and it does an excellent job. I shoot 160g accubonds and am about to try Barnes 145g LRX but would love to shoot Barnes 168gLRX which I already would need a new barrel for.
Anyways any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks.
