[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1131800, member: 30902"] Phorwath did a very good job of addressing most of your questions so I'll just aim for those he didn't. With a new product launch they are just going to aim for the calibers where they can get the biggest and quickest return on their investment first. Without a doubt the 7mm and .30 cal's are the most popular so that's the sensible place for them to start. I suspect we'll see over the next year more offerings in .270 and .338. Hornady is also investing quite a pile in factory ammo for these bullets with a new precision line that should help them to take off. I've always been a fan of their bullets and with the consistency of their factory ammo so I'm a pretty happy camper. Basically this looks to be an improved and higher bc version of the interbond combined with a cannelure so they should perform great on game. I think the 212 and 220gr offerings will give the big cased 30's like the Rum and Wby a chance to really shine and since I own several 300 Rum's i'm looking forward to giving them a ride. When I go back to Africa hopefully in 2017 I am planning to take one of my 7mm STW's and one of the Rum's and it'll be nice having 20 months or so to play around with some new loads and bullets before I go. Since Perigrine now is expanding into the US market as well we've got more choices for good quality bullets for heavy bodied/boned game than we've every had so it's a really exciting time to be a long range hunter. When I look at how much the industry has changed just over the last decade and a half with all the new gear specifically developed for us I'm just amazed. [/QUOTE]
