“When people think of big rifle cartridges this is one that comes to mind,” explains Derek Peterson, president of Peterson Cartridge.  “I would argue that it is also perhaps the most versatile.  It can be used in the whitetail woods of Pennsylvania, chasing elk in the Rockies, or stalking kudu on the Serengeti.  We felt that producing brass casings for such an adaptable caliber would benefit hunters around the world.  Try some for yourself and let us know how we did.”
