[QUOTE="FAL Shot, post: 748364, member: 27328"] The ultra magnums and compact magnums are a solution looking for a problem to solve. The .338 Lapua Magnum has been adopted into military service and many more countries are bound to follow. Military standardized cartridges always become super popular: .30-06 Spfd, .308 Win, 7x57mm Mauser, .303 Brit, 6.5x55 Swede, 7.62x54R, etc. If I wanted a .338 caliber rifle for long range shooting, the .338 Lapua Magnum is a no-brainer. If the others you mentioned were as good, they could have been adopted into military service already. It is a well rounded broad application cartridge, which is what the military shoots for, not a one-trick pony. Because it is military, it will be used in service rifle competitions and become much more popular than it already is. It has a guaranteed future with lots of interest and more development spurred by big military spending. I would go with a winner. [/QUOTE]
