A big boomer does not make one a marksman if fact the opposite may be true.

Having been called an old Fudd on occasions, I see a realistic benefit from this development for what I look for in a cartridge. At the distances I can realistically shoot too and stick within, which is around 400 meters. I can pass up the opportunity of using the high BC heavies in a new cartridge like this, and go for the 155gr load. Or if it's reloadable, a 140gr load even better. No need for any special scope turrets or reticle, just a bog standard cross, and no need to hold over or ballistics chart out to 400m

To summarise, the improvement for me, would be simplicity.
