Hey Folks,
Just watching the new video by Paul Harrell on the 7.5 BRNO pistol he was sent to review, and very impressed by the performance of that cartridge out of a handgun barrel (and the powerful recoil too). Has anybody gotten their hands on anything chambered in this cartridge yet? Have you tried cast boolits in it?
What kind of role does everyone see this cartridge having? While Paul compared it to a lot of other cartridges, the one that seems most directly comparable to me is 327 mag even though I'm pretty sure the 327 can't touch those performance numbers most of the time.
My first thought when seeing the performance numbers was, "Man, somebody needs to make a Contender barrel in that," but I'm not sure if the Contender can handle the 50k PSI pressures. Might have to be an Encore instead. Either way, something 6" to 8" would probably be wickedly effective with the right bullets.
