[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 199031, member: 12"] **** few BR rifles "consistently" shoot in the .1s, much less hunting caliber rifles. There are a lot more guns "capable" of being in the .1s than there are shooters capable of tuning, loading and shooting to that level.- Very few "proprietary" cartridges today that really involve intellectual property. All kinds of variants almost immediately once a new case comes out, so just exactly who is the first and owner of the intellectual property. One year ago there was a 375/408 shot in the PA world open at 1k using prototype bullets and that gunsmith had already been building the 338-408 on his variation. Someone else had been playing with it before that even for long range sniper work, so can no one else build a 338-408 or 375-408? You need look no further than what happened with the WSM family of cartridges, lawsuits and greed by one guy. He jumped on a patent on a case design that had been shot in NC and VA by 1k two different shooters and gunsmiths 3 yrs before he got on the band wagon, but he was the first to run to patent office. He has the patent, but was not the first with that case design. I am sure someone else in another area was doing the same thing also. It is natural for experimenters to jump on every new case and see what and how the performance can be enhanced for accuracy, long range or KE. Relax and enjoy the variety. BH [/QUOTE]
