Federal own Alliant so probably cut Re26 off to Hornady (7PRC) knowing this was coming out, mines faster than yours! No way I’d pull the trigger on a savage at 80kpsi!I’d want a high quality action

Shut up, get out & start pushing!
Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing, and right-doing, there is a field. I will meet you there.

I would guess "holds on to the chamber better " and due to less stretch than brass there would be less or no more bolt thrust.
Modern steel ( and some old steel ) can easily contain chamber pressure in the barrel shank and receiver ring.
It's usually backwards pressure that is harder to contain
What I find interesting about this is that the self contained cartridge really hasn't changed a lot in well over 100 years.
A lot of the incremental improvements have come from a gradual increase in chamber pressure as the firearms industry has been able to improve designs and materials to contain that pressure.
This new 7mm case is just another step along that continuum.
