Nope. Guess I am too blind to see what is spectacular about a 140 at 2700 or a 120 at 3000. It catches a lot of others out past 600, but other than steel, I don’t shoot that far, and the round doesn't pack enough punch out that far to make me comfortable using it on game if I hunted it at such ranges. I see the draw for targets at distance, although there are rounds that do that more and better, too(admittedly not many in that recoil range).

What I don’t get are all the people hunting with it. What does it do better than a 7-08 or a 243 on game? I could see some using it, just like some use any other cartridge. What is weird is the cult following it has, even among folks who will never shoot it past 200 yards. I cannot understand what makes it better for that than a 243, 7-08 or dozens of other short action cartridges.
