Rare is the man who, in a hunting situation, would fire from prone and choose a loop sling over a rest. Especially in order to take advantage of what this cartridge has to offer. It's a long range cartridge.


Except that game shows up at close range, even if one is planning for long range, regardless of what round is used. There are plenty of times when a rest is not available (such as out on the prairie), but a sling is always attached, ready for action. Unfortunately, many folks these days don't use or don't know how to use a sling.
