[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1581104, member: 2736"] It is far from dead. It is the ballistic equal to the 338 Lapua and can be used in many actions that the Lapua should not be used. It will fit the standard magnum bolt face and has the optimum powder capacity. More capacity will/may get you more velocity, but at what cost and efficiency. Only the most dedicated long range shooters that look for 1400 +yard shots need more that the 338 RUM can deliver and if truth be known, most hunters will never get or take a shot that long. This is a case of less is better for most. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
