Sincere thanks to everyone who's responded so far - I appreciate the input. The more I learn about this cartridge, the more I become a fan of it. Everyone that I've talked to (at least those who have heard of it) seems to agree that it is a tremendous hunting round - very powerful, flat-shooting, and a well-designed case. The only negative thing I've encountered is the total lack of ammunition available here in the U.S. I do not reload currently, which seems like an absolute must for this round (I plan on getting into reloading at some point), and I will need some ammo for test firing. Where would I find some ammunition domestically? I know that RWS and Blaser produce factory ammo but I am having difficulty finding the RWS and (supposedly) Blaser Ammo is not imported into the country. The only other lead I've come across is Safari Arms, who supposedly will make it on a custom basis.

Thanks again.
