The .300 rcm has pretty much identical performance to the .300 wsm so I dont really see the point in creating something new and great that already exists but...
The .338 rcm outperforms a .338 win mag by a small margin and does it using a 20" barrel as opposed to the 24" win mag barrel. It also produces less recoil and muzzle blast. So your rifle is going to be better/quicker handling and quite a bit shorter because of barrel and action length. Giving you a compact quick handling 6.5lb hunting rifle that outperforms the .338 win mag. How is this not a great advancement?
It might not be what YOU wanted but I am willing to bet that I'm not the only one that finds it appealing.
