I'm going to stick with the 7 mag…

Hmmmmm. Watch this video. I wouldn't be surprised if the new Seekins rifles are chambered in the 7mm Backcountry. They mention the SIG Furry at the start of the video. *I didn't watch the whole thing so maybe they touch on this one as well.

Seekins! Very interesting

Have you guys seen this video? I am really interested in getting one of these. Hope they add different calibers but if there are prefits that is awesome too.

According to the blurb I saw on the interweb Savage will be chambering this round in quite a few rifles.

Same as Hornady, reinvent something based on raising pressures and in this case a steel boron alloy case

Well -- we all know what happens to barrel life with rising pressures and temps. There is no free lunch, indeed. I suspect the military has been playing with alloys and other metals for a long time to find a better combo. Federal is not the company I would expect to make the break through.
