LOL
Just a 270 wsm rejigged for longer bullets.
The longer bullets is what the yanks have woken up to.
Europe woke up to them in the 1860's with the Whitworth and Mauser pretty well had it sorted by 1900with the 6.5 and 7mm then it was expanded with the 9.3X62 and 338 Lapua.
One well placed shot is all it takes.
