I think the whole thing is very interesting, they must have plans to push the manufacture of new and more easily obtained bullets for this diameter. I hunt avidly with a 8x57 Mauser and hate bullet shopping, although I am very happy with the 200 grain Nosler Partition. The 180 Nosler Ballistic Tip will also be a good bullet for the gun. As of now I am interested to see what becomes of this rifle.
