110 ULTRALITE THREEQUARTER MERGED SMALL

Savage Arms has announced a wide array of rifles chambered in Hornady's 7mm PRC, which promises to provide hard-hitting terminal performance without compromising accuracy.

“We’re thrilled to get these 7mm PRC additions into the hands of Savage fans and shooters everywhere,” said Beth Shimanski, director of Marketing at Savage Arms. “With Savage’s heritage for proven accuracy, these rifles are designed for top performance and match grade accuracy, putting challenging shots and the biggest game in your reach.”

Optimized for long-range shooting and big-game hunts, the Hornady 7mm PRC utilizes long, high BC bullets for consistent performance at long range. The case is designed to use common, temperature-stable, magnum-speed propellants, for added consistence and optimal barrel life.

New Caliber features include:

  • Designed for a maximum cartridge overall length of 3.340-inches.
  • 1:8-inch twist rate to stabilize heavy 7mm bullets.
  • Target muzzle velocity of 3000fps from a 24-inch test barrel using 175-grain and 180-grain bullets.
  • Non-belted, stat headspaces off the shoulder aligns well in the chamber.
  • Cartridge and chamber designed concurrently with the same design methodology as the 6.5 Creedmoor.

Behind the Bullet: The .22 Long

If we could rewind the clock to 1871, before the .45-70 Government and .45 Colt existed, and when cartridges themselves were just establishing a foothold in the shooting world, you’d find a pair of .22-caliber rimfire designs: the .22 Short and the .22 Long. Aptly named, these cartridges would survive well into the 20th century, ultimately being conquered by the .22 Long Rifle cartridge. But in certain situations, the .22 Long cartridge still makes good sense, and actually has a few specialized applications.
