I guess you guys have not played with alot of Hondas... For the given engine displacement, the Porsche is no where close to the Honda. Then neither are BMW's, Audi's, and many other brands.
Think SOLO 1 & 2, Touring sedans, and any SCCA class you want to study. Yeah, I used to race cars...
For me, I shoot my rifles and performance, not lables, matter. I really don't care if the platform cost $500 or $5000 as long as it performs. After a certain point, you run out of engineering and just pay for bling/cache/ego.
So we understand the rankings, the 338 RUM is a bit smaller then the Lapua, the 338-300RUM is LARGER then the Lapua, the 338 Mystic is bigger then all the above.
The Mystic has a case capacity similar to an Improved Lapua. Only the 338-416 Rigby Improved and 338-378 Wby reg and improved are bigger.
When you want LR horsepower and a 250gr is a light bullet, 300gr common, 325gr to 335gr very interesting, there is no substitute for displacement.
Since we are using car analogies, if the Lapua is a Porsche, the 338-300RUM is a Corvette, the 338 Mystic is a Viper.
