    Interesting choice - for the inexperienced like me, this cartridge doesn't seem to fit the series of the past few years?

    How is it to reload?

    Great Cartridge It Reloads EASY and has low case stretch with a 40 dg shoulder . Performance is CLOSE to 7 MM Rem Mag with less powder and recoil ! jmo RJ

    And both nosler and hornady load it as factory. I agree, , a great cal but perhaps does not match the 'classic' cals the other three were offered in (275, 6.5x55, 9.3x62)

    I'd love to see one in 8x57. I don't think they will make one in it but I hope��
