Its suppose to be FAR superior to the old 308. Haven’t seen it on shelves yet but I’m sure it’s just cuz of the overwhelming demand. Thinking about a custom. Waiting for someone with some experience with it to chime in though. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/12/full-5026-272343-f76acdb2_98f7_4e92_9a42_681a57922254.jpeg)

Looks like wreck waiting to happen. Advertising to fit in all .308 rifles.
You'll have some nut saying if a 7.6 CM will work in any 308 rifle why not try a 308 round in a .243. BOOM!!
I'm out.

If they load the new bullet-cam bullets in this caliber I will buy a bunch. https://youtu.be/hoGRlS53U_k

With the ‘new G10 drag model’ I doubt those bullets will be accurate enough to do any good.

Friend of mine says he has owned one since the early 1950’s but I don’t think he knows what he is talking about. Tried to explain to him this is a brand new cartridge but he called me an idiot.

Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

That was funny. Texflip.
Technically, I do believe that a 300 Savage AI is essentially a 7.62 CM.

How on earth so many wild game animals were killed before the cartridge became available is beyond me.

I love it already and haven't even seen the ballistics. I love the 65CM so much and now we have this bigger CM, I love it's superiority. I'm going to get 2 I love it so much. I'm calling my gunsmith now to see if he has this reamer, he's gonna love it. Creedmoor rocks.

Most deer can out run anything less than a Creedmoor.
