   Thought this "Federal 7mm Backcountry" was interesting. Has been in the   
   recent issues of a couple magazines. Mostly interested in what the case   
   and powder could do for current ammo, like the .223 and such🤔   
      
   I just read about the new stuff. Haven't shot a powder burner in   
   decades🙄

   Here in the densely vegetated Northeast it's rare to be able to see over 200   
   yards, .30-.30 range. The lower growth tends to be evergreens that restrict   
   the view through winter. I've hunted in Colorado where an uncle was a guide   
   and recognize the need for longer range out there. I was still in 5 mile   
   running condition but needed a week to acclimate to splitting firewood at   
   9000 feet. Here that's twice the tree line altitude, out there they grow   
   tall at 10,000.
