Thread: New 7mm offering by federal

spooner covered that though and it does because it about the amount of powder being burnt rather then pressure like most people think uses alot less powder so makes sense

either way you look at it and its a bigger step forward then what the 7mm PRC was promised then turned out to be so pretty exciting pushing higher pressures with less powder in these steel cases is pretty interesting
my 300 win mag shooting 180gr bondstrikes is more then enough to satisfy my needs and shooting to 500ish

I can't agree with that, Newton's third law says that when two bodies interact by applying force to one another, in this case the gun and the bullet the effect is equal on both but in opposite directions. It's the mass of the bullet and the speed it reaches along with the firearms weight that determines recoil not the amount of powder burnt to do that.
