310: 7mm PRC: The Good, Bad, & Ugly After 1 Year

Hornady unveiled the 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge in October or 2022 and that cartridge has taken the hunting world by storm since then. I've hunted with and shot the 7mm PRC pretty extensively over the past year. While I really like the cartridge and have been pleased with how it has performed overall, the 7mm PRC is not perfect and some disturbing issues have cropped up with it recently. Here's the good, the bad, and the ugly about the 7mm PRC after just over one year on the market.
