About what you'd expect from a full-power military cartridge of the late 19th/early 20th century.
Good catches. I also found a 6.8mm weapon in Tactical Shooting. The 6.8mm weapon is TL8 and its stats are pretty darn close to the TL9 7mm weapon. Also, after more research it seems like the weight of a modern cartridge is generally around 50% brass, at most? Given that I might go with cased versions of TL9 caseless weapons halving half as many shots and otherwise being identical.
