1 - What was/is the intended use for this caliber?
2 - Looks like the standard mag capacity is 10 (same size as milspec 30 rd 5.56 stanag). Do they make a different style of mag to accomodate more, such as a drum or cmag?
3 - How do the bullets feed, in general?
4 - Good choice for personal/self/home defense? I'm guessing no given the capacity specs but maybe there's products out there to address that. 15-20 rds is about as low as I'd want to go in a "battle rifle", personally. (cue Garand enthusiasts )
Also, I've never shot one. Not sure if it's meant as a long range engagement or cqb type thing or both, shoulder-fired or intended for use with bipod/fixed position. I'm a bigger guy, so I'm not terribly concerned with the recoil aspect as long as it's controllable. Obviously one wouldn't use a .338 Winchester in a repeating cqb/defensive aspect.
Just trying to put the round into perspective.
