Of course most of the stuff out there one reads concerns long range shooting with this cartridge. A lot of shooters say it is too much trouble just use a 260 or 6.5x55. I just don't understand their complaints. Brass is readily available, dies are available , Norma makes brass for it . My gunsmith is currently building one and has built scores of them and put it on a recommended list for me as well as a few other cartridges.
