Galactic Horizon 7.7x60mm

Galactic Horizon 7.7x60mm is a high-velocity cartridge designed to be used in rifles and overcompensating revolvers, in essence it is just the company's subsonic variant of their 7.7x30mm round with a longer nickel-plated casing that is designed to hit hard over long ranges - much like the subsonic 7.7x30mm round it uses a Nerimium penetrator beneath a Teflon-coated Skusten shell. There is additionally a rarer self-defence variant with a frangible nose to maximize the transfer of energy as well as a scored metal jacket to create a more vicious wound-channel via rapid expansion and minimize over-penetration compared to the more traditional design.

The round will perform best when fired from a platform with a decently long, well made barrel and good optics attached, the frangible-nosed variant will travel just as far and be just as accurate though will suffer more shallow penetrative qualities than its more traditional counterpart.
