7mm Backcountry, does BC stand for best choice or bad cartridge? Let's test it!

oh and anyone curious on recoil. I am pretty recoil sensitive and FOR ME it had recoil about like a 270 unsuppressed. Granted the evoke is a fairly heavy rifle and some of those I shot out of a sled but it didnt really POP me like I thought it might.

If you think about it, the powder capacity of the 7BC case and the 280AI are nearly identical and they use the exact same bullets. The only difference is the 7 BC uses a different powder (I assume a faster powder).

The recoil won't be identical, but it won't be like stepping up to a 338 Lapua.

Your velocity data confirms that Federal's velocity promises were met.
