All the gun makers had to flood the market with them since it was a common military cartridge and ammo was cheap for all the cheap MFs that like cheap ammo. Tweener cartridge if there ever was one. To little for elephants and too big for ducks. I don't see the point. I'm going to buck the crowd and stick with my .264 Creedmoor. Let's Go Brandon! FJB

But you're right they're about as fun as watching paint dry Creedmires are for entertainment value of all the gushing and ooing and awing band wagoners over something that's been done several times already.

I am..........disturbed. Concerning the difference between man and the jackass: some observers hold that there isn't any. But this wrongs the jackass. -Twain
