This video introduces Federal Ammunition's new 7 mm Backcountry cartridge, highlighting its revolutionary Peak Alloy case technology. This innovation allows for significantly higher pressures, resulting in increased muzzle velocities, especially from shorter barrels, compared to legacy cartridges. Federal CEO Jason Vanderbrink emphasizes this as a major leap forward for the centerfire rifle industry, comparable to the transition from blackpowder to smokeless powder. The American Rifleman team had an opportunity to test the new ammunition on the range and explains the underlying concept.

This video from Kentucky Ballistics features an in-depth look at the iconic M1 Garand rifle. Host Scott demonstrates its operation, including the distinctive en-bloc clip and 'ping' sound. The video culminates in a high-pressure test designed to induce catastrophic failure, showcasing the dangers of over-pressured ammunition and the robust (or in this case, failed) construction of the rifle under extreme stress. Expert analysis follows the explosion, detailing the damage.

This video reviews the new Federal 30 Super Carry cartridge, drawing a historical parallel to the WWI Pedersen Device cartridge. The presenter highlights its .312 diameter bullet, similar to .32 ACP, but in a longer case operating at significantly higher pressures (45,000 psi), exceeding that of 9mm and even .357 Magnum. While acknowledging dimensional similarities to the 7.65 Longue, the reviewer clarifies they are not the same cartridge. The video aims to assess this innovative design and its potential to gain traction in the market.

This video recreates a catastrophic .50 caliber rifle explosion to investigate the cause. The investigation points to extreme overpressure from faulty or counterfeit ammunition, reaching up to 190,000 PSI. Safety protocols and remote testing were employed to safely demonstrate the failure mechanism, highlighting the critical importance of ammunition integrity.

This episode of Gun Talk Radio discusses new and potentially harder-hitting 9mm ammunition, specifically mentioning Seismic 9mm. The conversation extends to Sig Sauer's development of the .277 Sig Fury cartridge, which employs new technology to achieve higher pressures. The radio show's broadcast times and various podcast platforms are also promoted.

The .277 SIG Fury cartridge, developed for a U.S. Army contract, offers superior downrange energy and lighter soldier loads. Its innovative three-piece hybrid case design, featuring a stainless steel head, allows for pressures exceeding 80,000 PSI. This enables velocities of 3,000-3,200 FPS and significantly more energy at 1,000 yards compared to cartridges like the 6.5 Creedmoor.
