I looked into getting one. Looked to me like a hard hitting round on both ends. It's real advantages were realized at ranges considerably farther out than I have any business shooting in hunting scenarios. I'm going with good old plane Jane 270.

I was surprised how short even 270 ammo is. And expensive. I thought this ammo thing was turning around

I'm to practical (or tight depending on how you look at it) for something like a 338.

I've been looking at the 6.8 myself. If a 6.8 western is what you want, then don't hesitate. I just went hog hunting with a guy that has one, he loves it ( and he found ammo). Ought to be a good shooter!
