280 Rem Brass for 7mm Backcountry: A workaround idea

[khuber84]

Reloading the new 7mm Backcountry.

Monday I purchased a new 7mm Backcountry rifle to see what it was all about. I already load the hybrid cases, but this new steel case seemed interesting. Shot the 7 BC on Tuesday, and was pleasantly surprised at the velocity. Wednesday built dies and reloading support accessories. Thursday...

Fair bit of data here. Fella made his own dies originally, formed cases from 280 ackley as well. So it has steel and brass case data.


Edit........fair warning, the guys data is likely on the very warm side, he pushes stuff to the max in general. Finds pressure, drops charge 1% and runs it there so be careful!

While driving back from the reloading store, I was listening to a podcast from a prominent hunting and guns writer. He said that he was on a hunt to test a new 7 Backcountry load. He could not disclose who produced the load, but it was not a Federal load.

My guess: Remington ammunition has the same owner as Federal. Could we see a lower cost Cor Lokt or Core Lokt Tipped Remington.
