7mm Back Country?

[Rookie]

It better be boxer primed. Berdan primed would kill it before rolls out. Anybody heard?

Follow my link click on the ammo of your choice and then click more info for velocity, g1, etc. Yes it's boxer primed.

How is resharpening that Magnacut?

Takes a great edge. I use a Wicked Edge Pro. I found it easy to put an edge on mine.

Magnacut has an ideal heat treat hardness range. So depending on that you get toughness vs edge retention.

I skinned and parted out two antelope this fall with mine and the edge is still perfect.

BUT recently a knife maker metallurgist developed a new steel called Magnacut that found an unfilled niche in the edge retention to toughness scale. I own a custom blade made with it, and it has really surprised me cutting up animals. The knife community seems to really love too.

Why? Unless you are shock loading the blade butchering an animal (how/why you would even do that?), how did the extra toughness surprise you?

I would like to see a discussion between George Gardner and the guys at Hornady about this 7BC cartridge , steel cases, and the idea of 80,000 psi chamber pressures.

Getting sick of all the new 7, 6.5, 6 etc. How about an 8.

If I can’t reload it, how the hell am I supposed to shoot all the blue helmet one worlders?

?
Black tip 163s are .30

They banned Barnes .284 solids

?

90% of my point, was that it is not targeting reloaders. That we are small fraction of the hunting market. This despite our self deception of how important we are. That’s just ego.

Speak for yourself whiteman.

Wonder how this will age compared to the 6.8 Western and the 30 Super Carry? The XX Noslers? It seems that the PRC / ARCs have done fairly well.

 

[Rthur]

Seems they left out the 28 nosler from the graph.
I hear it's close to a 7mm.

From what I could see about the 6.8 Western, it also suffered from having only one or two manufacturers and no one else interested in building it. I could be wrong but I think most western hunters were sticking with the7 RM because it worked pretty well. It fills a specific niche but evidently not enough wow factor.

Juxtapose that to 7 PRC that started with a full blast from Hornady and a number of companies either already producing models or had them on the line and soon to test and ship out.

If I had already had a 7 RM, I might not have gotten the 7 PRC. It was designed for guys like me who like a rifle that hunt anything up to western game and shines in a few spots, namely pushing a heavy grain bullet, nice BC. It really shines past 500 yards, otherwise, most rifles are within an inch of each other below 500 yards.

I am fairly certain that I am not going to shoot at game past 400 yards. There is some time of flight but also, animals move. Sometimes just enough to get wounded because they were pivoting just as your trigger squeeze broke.

If I was never going to shoot past 100 yards to maybe 200 yards, then any .308 would do the job.

Edited to add: What, then, is the use of the 7 BC if it is simply a faster 7 PRC with higher pressure? I predict it is going to have problems if Savage is the only making it. No slight against Savage, per se. But yes, it could follow the fate of the 6.8 Western.

Whereas, there are still plenty of people talking about and doing things, including hunting, with the .28 AI, for example.

Other than flaring the case mouth doesn’t look too much different.
