Gunsmiths in Texas or North America for 7BC?

My concern would be for suppressor more than action. Short barrel and that much pressure will mean the can is going to need to be tough.

The new Dead air nomad OTB suppressor is explicitly rated for 16” barrels in 7BC and 300win mag.

Airlock industries is testing their zero gravity 7mm can on a 16” 7BC and it’s performing well

The inability to reload is an issue, no? If Federal isn't producing brass for reloading I think the cartridge is doomed. I've been looking at it and the 7 mm prc as a potential new cartridge (vs a .300 wsm which I have brass, dies and a current rifle in). The 7 BC is the most interesting but seems like a long shot to survive at this point . ..

From what I’ve researched they will release virgin cases at some point but not sure what that timeline is. I personally don’t hand load cause I don’t have the time so this is really a non issue for me.
I love to tinker so the thought of fine tuning a load sounds fun but just not feasible at the moment

#1 you can reload it. People are doing it. Dies have been out for months. Yes, you have to buy factory loaded and maybe some once fired stuff will start floating around. #2 The VAST majority of guys DO NOT RELOAD. Seems like guys here are in an echo chamber but Rokslide isn't the real world. Just like most buys don't care about cutting off .6 oz for $500 on their rifle set up. That isn't the normal.

I’m sure there are cans that will handle it fine, I was just meaning I think there is more reason to be concerned with suppressors than actions. The cartridge case handles most of the extra pressure is my understanding. I also understand and know there are cans that will handle it. I would just be less prone to assuming my can would handle the pressure on a shorter barrel than I would be to assume the action will.
