I just read this article on it. Pretty cool if the claims turn out to be legit.

Federal 7mm Backcountry Review

Federal's newest cartridge is not just a better long-range 7mm. It may be the greatest ammo-making innovation of our lifetimes.

Already a thread...general consensus is that it won't last

"Now it's my turn!" -Federal circa 2025

Hard pass from me, but I’m probably not their intended market.

Interesting to watch. Sounds like it’s basically the reinvention of cases and powders I guess. Lots of chamberings to reinvent that would be interesting. Some reinvented chamberings might eliminate their modern day competitors.

Isn’t the 7BC basically a 280AI with a new case material and powder?

Would a 300wsmBC eliminate the 300PRC?

Imagine what a .270BC, 30.06BC, .338WMBC, .284WinBC, .308WinBC would be and what modern day cartridges would be defunct. And I wonder if BC type rifles would be backwards compatible with the older cartridges?

Now let’s really get creative.
What about straight walled BCs?
