Thread: New 7mm offering by federal

Yeah, unless the action i needs to be beefed up significantly will someone produce steel reloadable cases for other calibers? Some rifles in 223 already handle 5.56 pressure.

What's a primer fired at 80000psi look like?

I watched that video, they tested to 110,000psi!

I wonder how suppressors will handle the extra pressures from this cartridge

wrong.

exhaust gas (velocity, pressure,...) contributes significantly to recoil.

otherwise muzzle breaks and suppressors would not have an effect...

Yep suppressors will HATE this cartridge with a short barrel, the muzzle pressure will be way higher than normal & higher than most magnums especially given the powder burn rates most likely being used

Brakes will LOVE it, tons of pressure to work with, even an inefficient design will work acceptably

Will be interesting to see how the whole concept progresses including reloading, assuming its possible

That's what I was thinking, wouldn't be surprised to hear of suppressors blowing up.. maybe an ultta magnum suppressor may work?

Possibly, which would negate a lot of the appeal of short & light hunting rifles here
