I'm baffled by the rage around this cartridge, so I did a little research. Can anyone explain to me why people are trumpeting this as a long range death-ray, for everything up to and including Bull Elk?
The ballistics are virtually identical to the "Old" .260 Remington, which by all accounts, has always been considered a fine, mid-range, Deer round. No more, no less. Same Caliber..... Same velocity, with the same weight of bullet (less than 30FPS difference with factory ammo).
Am I missing something? I feel like the Elk deserve better than that.
