Federal New Cartridge

[77TMK]

$60 is cheap compared to the Nosler crap for $100+...outrageous prices on mediocre ammo.

Nosler is a completely out of touch company kept alive through some bulk OEM projectiles sold to smaller makers, and making sure the average Elmer going through a Gunwerks class can spend as much as possible on ammo.

non-brass case?

If one of the good brass manufacturers get behind it, I might neck it down to 25 or 6mm and see what it'll do

Federal is excellent at "creating" boutique garbage, pushing it for a few months, and then it's dead because nobody gives a flying crap about yet another overkill hunting cartridge sold for $60 per 20.

Let's consider their other failures:
.30 Super Carry
.224 Valkyrie
.327 Federal

May as well add the .338Fed to that list.

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

How many 7 mm cartridges do we currently have? If I were a marketing guy working for federal, I would have pointed them to another project.

7mm Western

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.

6.5 weatherby RPM necked up to 7mm, probably a light weight terminal ascent bullet going fast

7mm Western

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.

Just based on the photos, I don't think that catridge has more capacity than a 28 nosler, I don't know how it hope to be "the fastest factory 7mm."

That's why I think they're hiding that it's a high pressure case, like the 277 fury.

 

[ElPollo]

Yawn.

Different case material that can use a faster burning powder and withstand higher pressures maybe.

 

[TheViking]

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

 

[waspocrew]

Again, interested to hear the details, but I don't see myself jumping for another 7mm.

You could harvest mice for miles with that! I’ve been awaiting a cartridge that is powerful enough to murder rodents. Grandpa’s ‘06 seems unethically anemic.


Sarcasm aimed at myself.

 

[MuleyFever]

I would rather an OEM just get 100% behind the 7 SAUM.

UM 7?
