Practical? What could be more? From 243 Win to 358 Win with every 308 based cartridge in between formed from the SAME dimension brass and conservative on powder all the while getting the job done seems like nothing BUT practical.
Yes, practical. African usually don’t have the money to spend on very expensive reloading equipment and hard to find components. And they are not interested in one more cartridges that duplicates others ballistically. And try to find factory ammo in .338 Federal. That’s a joke. In 14 Safaris in 7 African countries I have never seen any plains game camp rifles in ANYTHING other than 30-06, .270, 7x57, or .308. Practical indeed. Americans have a love affair with making something new that “improves “ on something that already exists and works just fine. African don’t.....
