Gunsmiths in Texas or North America for 7BC?

Yeah I spoke with Matt at Hill Country Rifles and he seemed the most knowledgeable of the cartridge.
So definitely a level of confidence sending a rifle to him for work. He seems to believe in the cartridge especially for short barrels with suppressors

Yes, Matt is a good dude and a big supporter of the cartridge. He will build a nice rifle for you.

To each their own, long as the OP enjoys it is all that matters.
That said, if I was a bettin man I’d wager 7 BC isn’t stickin around.
Only time will tell.

I like it enough on paper to try it. If it doesn’t pan out then I can always put 270 barrel back on

Throat erosion and barrel life are of concern with 7 BC.

Is this concern based on empirical field data?

For a given projectile and MV, an 80k load will burn a fair bit less powder than a 60-65k load would.
