Re: Ammo you want to see loaded by the factory?
.284 win Loaded long (3.15-3.25") with 180 Bergers. Max safe load with RL17 and MV around 2900-2950fps.
A .284 Win loaded long with proper powders will beat a 7mm Rem Mag without any belts and associated headspacing problems. The new caliber should be SAAMI/CIP specified and have a new name like .284 LR or 7mm Sporting Magnum. If the new round has it´s own SAAMI or CIP specification then rifle makers could make factory rifles for this caliber.
In the meanwhile I have to reload my own.
