What do we think about this? Can anyone find ballistics for this?

We shall see if it is consistently accurate. History has shown that overbore cartridges don't do well. This is why the 26 Nosler got off to such a slow start.

Barrel life should be between 350 - 500 rounds and expensive to reload.

Cool round for sure and it is very much Weatherby-esk.

At $95.00 a box, I don't think it will see much action.

Yep - that too.

For the price of each round and the barrel life I think I would prefer a .338 Lapua. Better yet I will stick with the 6.5 Creedmore that I have been dreaming about!

Everybody is jumping into the 6.5 ring, This one wont catch on.
