Really hope this isn’t another overbore 7mm.

They said it is a 7mm on FB page but no other details

Yawn, does the market really need another 7mm right now?

No

Rebirth of the Lazaronni ?

Western was all Remington and Browning, and it has been a terrible flop. It was as if Remington wanted to load 270 WSM and changed a tiny bit to avoid it being the same.

Remington had nothing to do with the 6.8 Western. It is all Winchester/Browning.

a 280ai renamed in metric

I just wish ammo makers would just focus on the supply part of the demand than waste resources inventing new cartridges that don't do anything different than existing.

It’s the 7-280ai

My wishlist for Federal is making more Federal High Bird 12 ga #6 for a reasonable price. Great ammo, but at $20 per box? Thanks Federal. I’m switching to Fiochi golden pheasant.

My wish list for federal would be to load a 35 cal fusion in a 200-225 grain based on achieving legit .4 BC for 358 Winchester.

Not a huge market, but wide open for a sizable cult following. There simply is not any great bullets for mid bores in a short case.

Some tweaking of above ie shorter couple thousands less diameter in 150 grain and they could compete with a superior bullet in 350 legend.

For when you're hunting at distances that the 28 nosler just won't cut it.

Higher velocity without a big increase in recoil is appealing for running a can, at least can see a use case. I was watching a youtube video and guy was getting 2900 fpsish with 277 fury out of sig cross with 16” barrel and 150gr accubond hybrid factory ammo. Recoil not higher than normal 270 due to small 308 sized case. Not sure what this 7mm is though. If it is big cased to get velocity then big recoil

Yawn.

I was hoping to see a new 25 cal.

Federal posted a clip on X saying a new cartridge is coming that will be offered in 80 different gun models. Announcement on Jan 7. Any ideas?

I don’t know squat about reloading. Do the nickel cases hold more pressure?

No difference between brass and nickel plated brass cartridges when it come to pressures

 

[PistolPete]

I'm odd, but I've hoped for a 7 Creed. BC's of .796 at a reasonable velocity, but twisted/throated/magged for enough OAL to do it would be pretty sweet.

Obviously not actually much different than the 6.5, admittedly. Doubt that's what Federal is doing anyway.

The nickel is just a plating over regular brass, so no.
