    I read Savage are only one of several Federal have lined up for the caliber.

    So who's crunched the numbers on the speed, powder type required, burn rate and projection on realistic barrel life ?

    All the reasonable known barrel life projection data is based on 60k psi or thereabouts
    It might be safe to assume there is an exponential increased decay at 80k psi

    Sounds like they have also got some very high end “factory custom” makers on board aswell

    The numbers that backfire was getting is impressive all most
    Amost 200fps more than my 7RM out of a 4” shorter barrel than my rem mag
