20k psi higher chamber pressure will likely be higher muzzle pressures right? More muzzle pressure will be added recoil.

I posted actual #'s from recoil calculator earlier in this thread. No idea what actual charge weight would be for the 7BC, likely higher than 55 so the gap may not be that significant but it paints the picture of charge weight impact on recoil.
On the 7 Backcountry episode it was indicated multiple times that a bullet at a given velocity = recoil. Statements seemed to be discarding claims that a 7 BC would offer less recoil than a traditional 62-65k PSI round that burns more powder to get same velocity. That stance ignores powder charge weight @Unknown Munitions . If a round is burning less powder to push the same bullet at the same velocity, recoil energy is going to be less because there is less weight of powder being pushed out the front of the barrel. Every recoil calculator I've seen accounts for powder charge. Example below that in theory could represent a 7 BC vs 7 PRC pushing same bullet at same velocity from a rifle weighing the same. Not trying to say federal is or isn't juicing the #'s but rather there is some validity to having less recoil as a biproduct of higher pressures with smaller cases.

I will say that I'm pretty psyched for this raven action! If I understand correctly nitride will come standard? Additionally how does form feel about the triggertech triggers for tikkas? I've heard good things about the KRG midas. But not much past that in terms of aftermarket options.

Since they do a Titanium action already, wonder if they could do the Raven in Ti?

Yes, nitriding will be standard on both models.
