Thread: New 7mm offering by federal

I’m pleased to see a reputable player taking a novel or different approach to stretching the ballistic envelope & giving the boys at Hornady a run for their money. Especially if you run the 20in bbl option. The idea of using significantly higher pressure but less powder than magnums definitely has appeal. Whether existing actions & suppressors can handle those pressures on routine basis is a bit of unknown. But no doubt some one will solve these issues in due course. And brakes will be a big help or must if you want to run a light weight LR hunting set up. I’d also want to see more info on the reloading requirements. Would not want to be stuck with factory ammo option only.
