While I call bs to the claim it will keep up to the Lapua..this could/will still be a very useful round for elk sized game or bigger..along with an awesome round for African plains game up to the big nasty stuff...and even them if its legal...

One of the reasons I call bs to the comparison is Nosler has a habit of comparing their cartridges out of a 26" barrel and the competition with a 24" barrel..saw it in their latest manual comparing the 28N vs the 7RUM as well as the 30N vs the 300RUM..

Really wonder if the next one will be .375??? Hoping there is a 416 out there somehere..

Also a brief article on it in Dec issue of GUNS AND AMMO..
