It will kill a deer if you put a bullet in the right place.

I shot a 7prc last week that belongs to a friend. He has a fierce and it was supposed. We were shooting those Hornady 160gr CX loads. I must say I was extremely impressed. One hole at 100 yards and almost same hole at 200yards. We shot out to 690. He shoots long range a bunch but I really do not. He dialed up 12moa and it made ringing the steal very very easy at that range. I have a 6.5prc that I really like. He has the 6.5, 7, and .300prc. I sort of feel that the 7prc might be the perfect balance of those 3 if you were looking for just one. The recoil was negligible and the fact that it was suppressed almost made it feel like I was shooting a .22 rim fire. Like I said, I was extremely impressed by everything I experienced last week with that caliber. Good luck!

I guess it depends on how far you want to shoot deer. A 7-08 will kill deer farther than most folks care to shoot one.
83% of all statistics are made up.

7mm PRC is effectively a 7mm Mag slightly improved to shoot heavier bullets more efficiently for longer range shooting. I would rather have the .300 for Elk.
For deer.... it will kill the crap outa one. 7 mag is my whitetail go-to for foot plots and field hunting. 160 Sierra = DRT. Not even a question... very few runners. I prefer to do all my hunting before I shoot.
I have been shooting 7 PRC a good bit lately performance wise a deer would not know the difference between the 2.

It's marketing and selling products. Everything has been done before. We were shooting the equivalent of 6.5 PRC 20 years ago when we put a 6.5 in a 7mm SAUM and called it a 6.5 Rocket.
The difference in 2023 is that overall the shooters themselves today have a better understanding of ballistics. You still have plenty of people on hunting boards such as this shooting 120's from 7-08, 140's in 7 Mag and hollering about needing a magic bullet that's been around 30 years. That crap is getting cut out. It's just a lack of understanding of ballistics. Today more people are into long range shooting and when you get into that, to be good at it you have to understand what you are doing.
Take a 7 Mag improve it to shoot long high B.C. bullets and here you are.
Back in the day we did it on our own. Now they are marketing it.
