Helluva marketing campaign. Started out as a target shooter’s cartridge then the “long range hunting” crowd picked it up and presto it’s the best ever. Mild recoil, good ballistics and a cool sounding name. Not much different than a .308 until you’re past 600 but everyone nowadays is sniping deer in the next county to hear the tales.
I bought my son one in a RAP and it’s a nice little round but I’m not really sold on it being everything it’s cracked up to be. Haven’t found it to kill deer or pigs any deader than the 7mm08, .243 or .308’s I have. I’ve gone the other way and enjoy the .300wm these days. Though I keep looking for a reason to get one.
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
