Better bullets is to be determined…..it's a steel case so once they make the die sets to reload them I'm betting they will be outrageously expensive………but with the case being steel you shouldn't need more than a neck sizing die because the case will be formed to fit your chamber perfectlyAll the complaints about not being able to reload and here we are. Hmm.
Federal for the win, just give the company a little time.
They are building better bullets

All the complaints I'm hearing is ppl saying oh this is better and that is better and so on and so forth but what they're not taking into consideration is they're achieving some pretty crazy velocity and pressure out of an 18/20 inch barrel with a 7mm bullet…….its an ideal round and rifle to slap a suppressor on and carry around the mountains hunting because your only going to have a barrel that's 22/24 inch with suppressor as opposed to say a 280 ackley that is 24/26 before putting a suppressor on
Gun people are funny. They claim no one is coming out with things to innovate or advance technology, yet when someone does they scoff and make claims about why it won't work or why it's a terrible idea.

Is it? What suppressors work for this cartridge with short barrels?

Are you being sarcastic? The silencer central banish backcountry was made specifically for that cal and rifle configuration and it's the best choice but every dead air nomad series .30cal will work…. Silencer co makes several models that will work but why would you want a caliber specific suppressor buy a .30cal so it's interchangeable
Can't wait to read this post 4 months from now. Thanks for the great response

From what I am hearing, they will be comparably priced with similar sets. Nothing really special with reloading steel cases in a hardened die , neck bushing or collet, for we have reloaded some steel cases for many years in 223/5.56, 7.62 and pistol.

No, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm asking you which suppressor companies have given this cartridge a thumbs up on their suppressors? If you run a suppressor on your fancy new 7 BC with a short barrel, it blows up your suppressor, will the suppressor company warrantee their product if they haven't tested it yet?
There is a possibility there will be barrel length minimums on this cartridge for many suppressors out there. That will limit your options running a short barrel and cans with this cartridge. I might be wrong, but I'm not running down to the store buying one of these with an 18" barrel and throwing my can(s) on there without ample data available.
Side note, people are blowing up the SiCo scythe ti suppressors with larger horse power cartridges despite its no cartridge/barrel limit rating.

I have tons of questions especially why do you have to expand the mouth like a straight wall case? Do you have to crimp? We know nickel cases send debris down the barrel what is going to happen when these coatings start breaking down? Why reload only the premium case that is coated on both sides? Is that coating going to last very long? If this is your cup of tea go ahead. Too many possible issues for little gain. I don't see the suppressor being that great of an addition to hunting set up to offset the cost. JMO. Did see a video of a custom built 7 prc vs 7 BC and the 7BC out of a custom gun could not produce 1 MOA
