New .284

IMO: Ammo companies are half a Democrat. They'd be better served by developing "new" loads for existing fodder and offering appropriate bbls for sale.

I get the idea behind this and the 277 fury. High pressure loads for 16-20 inch barrels than hang with if not beat "old" cartridges from 22-26 inch barrels. With how the popularity of supressors has taken off its a growing market.

My only hang up with these is being able to reload these specialty cases without needing a complete diffrent set of equipment

Good post. Thanks. I'm an enthusiast and by no means an expert (obvious): Is this rd "saying" steel cases aren't shit anymore and SAAMI needs to "re-evaluate"?

FYI/FUN FACT: A bullet fired from a diving aircraft has enough inherit/relative velocity to overcome stability from twist:

Can't wait for the new 7mmW.GAS. (7millimeter-who-gives-a-sh**)!

Yikes, 20 inch barrel, near 3000 fps with a 175g, and a muzzle brake. That muzzle blast should show up on the Richter scale. It would be a manufacturers dream to create a cartridge extremely difficult to reload. Also a dream for the gun control freaks.
A guy needs a walking gun and a sitting gun. If I had to pick one cartridge right now I would be happy with a 7 PRC in a 22 inch carbon barrel and another in a 28 to 30 inch heavy with 5R fast twist.
