Craig Boddington just had a Brown bear hunt in Alaska with this round. It dropped a medium sized grizz in one shot. Saw on the TV. Ballisticly it is so close to the 338 as to make no diff. And I understand all of you who say that there are too many cartridges already and that this cartridge is not needed. I hear what your saying but I can't help but get excited when Big Green or Winchester comes out with a new cartridge. This is how they sell multiple rifles of the same platform to the user. More choices are good for the industry, and good for us. That being said, My main rifles are champbered in .22lr, 30 06, 300 win mag, and 6.5x55. The newest cartridge here is the win mag. I believe it was designed in the 50's. The others are all around 100 years old.
If I had a lot of money, I would probably get more guns chambered in all of the new cartridges. Not sayin' I would hunt with em but that doesn't stop me from wanting one.
