Anyone have any info on this round? Been searching and I can’t even find a parent cartridge. Closest thing I can come to is a 300 Atlas.

Almost looks like a 30-338LM improved, but 80k psi?!

Looks cool if you like swapping barrels, rather than cleaning them.

Not going to lie... my mind read "30 Kotex" before I even said it correctly, and now I can't undo that one.

I want to say it’s based on the tub xc cartridge? I wasn’t paying too much attention when it was being discussed after a match awhile back, I think they had just gotten in the big Kelly’s action for it.

Xactly... 134 grains down a .30 cal bore. By the time load development is done, the throat'll be half toasted.
But there is the "biggest and baddest" factor
