358 Yeti

[Holland]

The only thing I don't like about calibers like this is the fact that someone is always stealing other people's ideas, renaming it, and taking credit for them. I am not sure which came first the Yeti or the Reapers. The Reapers have been around for a while so I kind of lean towards the Yeti being a copycat. The Reaper lines make several calibers off .308 brass. Think the .375 Reaper may be their biggest draw. But, I haven't checked out their site for a LONG time.

I don’t totally disagree with you. But how I see it is someone observing the progress of a wildcat that has potential and either putting their own twist on it or making up for shortcomings they observe. But that’s just my opinion with my limited experience in all this


That’s the beauty of what we can do as reloaders

I understand putting your own twist on things. But, some of the stuff is outright theft I think
One of the reasons I don't like the cm besides it being a big marketing scam. Guys were talking about the 22 cm guess it totally ripped off the 22/243 which has been around forever. The new 8.4 or 8.6 cm that they are developing I read totally ripped off the 338 Federal. Thievery just sours me. I will never own a cm product. Realistically I can get a .260 AI or a .243 AI that smokes both their big scam calibers. If I want a 22 cal I won't go cm. I will go 224 Texas Trophy Hunter, 22/243, 219 Zipper Improved, etc. They just offered a little different twist in barrels when the industry was moving from varmint hunting to more long distance shooting and tried to capitalize. Which they did do, but stealing ideas is crap IMO.
