I went to Africa in August and came back deciding I needed a new setup…bigger caliber, suppressor, etc. Settled on a 7mm BC with a 16” barrel and a titanium suppressor. I love it. It’s quiet, short, and packs a lot of punch. I’m selfishly hoping the caliber takes off. Anyone else got one and have thoughts so far? Or don’t have one and think it’s the dumbest thing in the world? What do y’all think?
 
I think its a cartridge that was built to fix a problem that didnt really exist. I dont see it catching on in a big way or ammo availability ever being good for it. As far as reloading the steel cases all kinds of questions there. Now all that said if it works for you and you love it thats all that really matters. Lord knows I have all kinds of odd cartridges in my safe that people question why I have them.
