It truly mirrors the velocities of the H&H case in a cartridge housed in a standard long action (versus the magnum action needed for the H&H), in a beltless, rimless design. This allows the cartridge to have a greater case capacity than a belted magnum case given cases of equal length. This bullet is at its best when used on large bodied game such as bear or moose at closer ranges (above 2200fps or inside 250 yards depending on muzzle velocity).
