| A 308 ballistic twin, looks like a 300 savage improved to me! Redundant? Yes. |

| It's a shorter .308. Nothing more, nothing less. |

| Just what a guy needs-another gun that is hard to find cases for!! The rifle looks like it will have some potential, but I'll bet it will be pricey, though. |

| Actually this will almost be triple redundancy with the 308, the 30TC and the new ctg Marlin/Hornady is coming out with for lever rifles. Crazy

| In the March issue of Guns and Ammo.......Craig Boddington states "With 150 grain bullets it actualy exceeds standard velocity for the 30-06" Smaller capacity less powder more speed. Wonder how they can do that !!!!!! lol
Hang on TITE !!

| What is "standard velocity" for the 150gr '06? I didn't know there was such a thing. |

| Well thats a good question........I assume ( and I hate to do that ) He refers to factory loaded ammo. Boddington again states "extra fast loads,Federal High Energy, Hornady light mag," beat it........I belive that factory 150 30-06 loads are advertised around the 3000 fps mark. The "Extra fast loads are advertised around 3100 fps. I never have clocked any of them. Always was a 180 grain man myself. Wonder what you have to do to get on T.C.,S&W pay roll....Just right what we pay you to I guess.

| The rim , and case head is .473, and has minimum taper. Boddington says its a shortend .308 win . Looks like a reinvented 300 savage. Kind of funny. The artical he wrote dosent quote any velocity. He just states that its faster than an 06......................

| A round that requires high-energy powders that aren't available to reloaders just to match the performace of other highly popular rounds already available sounds like a formula for quick failure. I can't imagine what they were thinking in producing this round...................DJ

| Looks like an 1/8" shorter 308 that used magic powder to equal its performance...only to factory ammo shooters. Stooopit!
