Can penetrate level III armor at about 1000 yards. That's impressive.

I'm gonna need some of that once fired brass once it comes available from resellers. Then I'll need a 300 or 338 NM rifle to shoot it ?????

338 Norma?
Something to bridge the gap between the 240 and ma deuce is indeed a great addition, but that thing better be touch as a $2 steak and idiot proof.

But yea, cool gun, and much more so if it works as advertised.
