I don't see Federal, part of a larger publicly traded stock, introducing this ammo at the risk of creating a liability issue for the corporation. I live in the world of risk mitigation. The ammo is safe.
The technology development has already been done for the 7BC, and military based cartridges.
While I'd personally like to see it in a 308, I'm not sure we will due to the age of the rifles you might try and put it in. Example, my Savage 99 in 308 or an old 1903, etc. I've been told it will not appear in 30-06. Cartridges within about 20 years past, maybe.
As for a couple of statements about what are you gaining over XYZ. Longer range and more energy up close, not having to purchase another gun if you want to shoot farther, etc a 200 fps with a heavier projectile will yield a noticable energy increase.
I will test out the heavier bonded bullet with my daughters 20" 6.5CM as an option for African antelope. Heck, I'll use the 6.4CM with this technology on Audad.
