[QUOTE="105Coues, post: 1259172, member: 65989"] You must have read the same article in American Rifleman that I read. I am sure that rifle will be awesome but i would not use any round nose bullets myself. This caliber is designed for long range flat trajectory shooting and those bullets are not. Because of the extreme velocity i would use a bonded bullet so at least some of it will stay together. We have shot a lot of elk with up to a 300 win mag and they are tanks no matter what you shoot them with. Bullet placement is key. I have only witnessed 1 that was dropped in his (6x6 340bull) tracks that was not a spine shot and that was with a 180 Partition in the chest. Can't wait to hear how it works out. If i had more time and money, it would be on my bucket list. Lol [/QUOTE]
