So is this going to be another euro-only boutique big game cartridge like 9.3x64 Brenneke or 9.3x62 Mauser?

Some guy from Varusteleka posted this a couple of hours ago.
What are those rifles shown on H&K's stand?

If Americans don't want to use it, yes. Alternatively they design something similar and use that instead. Already happened with 6.5 Lapua for example. For who knows what reason Americans didn't like it and designed the 6.5 Creedmoor a couple of years later, which is basically the same cartridge but American, so now Americans can shoot it.

Mite be cool if I ever decide I really want to eat a Cape Buffalo.

Neat

Somebody call Ruger, I need this this in a No.1

x68

That, along with the bullet weight should make sure that the recoil aint too bad.

- .338LM is x70
- .300WM is x67

Both have AR-versions so I cannot wait for the next monster semi-auto.

Although the round needs a new name - 10.3x68 sounds horrible.

Lets call it the .405 Magnum

Oh hey, it's another magnum round - because 338 lapua ain't powerful enough to hunt down anything that breathes

On the other hand a 911 Turbo is a fun car despite having more power than most people need. Does that make sense?
