7 Broke Backcountry Reloading Vid

[Elkslut]

I also was unimpressed with the video. The 12 passes bit was from Jake talking to RCBS directly, he said it on S2H podcast.
Put all the reloading bit aside and assume people just shoot factory ammo. I agree it will fail/ flop soon unless they can pull off Hornady status overnight. The shelves at any 'outdoors stores' within 3 hours of me have vary little federal anything, what they do have is Hornady ammo and components. How long has their terminal ascent bullets been out? I have never seen it on a shelf, I look I reload I probably would have tried it in something. Time will answer the questions.
Just my 2 cents on the topic

It's rarely available as a component bullet on shelves but it's pretty common to see it in their factory stuff. You can order them online usually though.

Ok I watched the video. .284 170gn. bullet going 3015fps.. Thats what all the hype is about?
I'm confused. Why is the 7 Backcountry all the new rage? Was that a 18 inch barrel? That would be impressive.

From other data that's likely a 20in barrel for that velocity.

Watch the video. He says he uses a standard 210 primer.

I must have missed that.

The problem is…you can’t find 210 primers easily…

Yes.

So the guys who are loading Lapua cases to the point primers are pretty flat and even leaking around the edges a little and etching a circle on the bolt face, have already been shooting at these pressure levels.

Took me less than 15 seconds.

Same, found 5k at targetsportsusa (CCI 200). My local scheels has a ton too.
