Why, oh why, couldn't they just base it on the 10.75x68 case??
Or, better yet, relaunch the 10.75x68 with these fancy bullets as THE do all cartridge.

I think the main reason is the obsolent diameter of 10,75 case bottom which means they would have to make totally own cases for it. That is quite costly. Probably this new caliber have some very common parent case and the sortiment of suitable bullet weight is quite great. Lighter bullets would be more popular for hunting in Europe.
