So they are a big deal in Europe where many countries limit how many rifles you can have for hunting and or sport shooting.

A multiple cal like the Blaser R8 can fit many needs from 22LR all the way up to 500 Jeffery. Just need a new barrel and bolt head.

Yeah? It’s a canon.

I’m not actually considering a R8 in this cartridge right now, problem is it’s a reloaders special.

You don't reload?

I don't. I'm a sucker for feeding my rifles at $20 per round.
