I see that quite a few manuf. chamber rifles for it in their target/varmint lines.
It has always struck me as a real good hunting round I would snap one up in a minute if someone would chamber it in a decent hunting rifle.
Brass and components are readily available. i'm sure someone could be talked into loading ammo for it.(Hornady?)
Awesome balance of ballistics, performance and accuracy in a compact package!
So whats not to like?
Cooper has been building rifles chambered for it for some time, Nosler and Norma offer ammo and components.
That said the other posters are right. I`ve one and don`t see much from it I can`t do with a 260 or 6.5x55 at hunting ranges. I get ~ 150 mfps more from it then the others in same lenght barrels.
The cartridge also is known as a barrel burner like it`s bigger sib the 264 Win Mag, which is likely a strike against it for most. When the ranges get longer, it shines nicely though.....
