Most hunting rifles don't use that magazine configuration, and as a result, the advantages that the cartridge provides in that magazine, may not be much if any advantage in the various hunting rifles.
According to the link that Don Parsons posted and from what I was told a few years back because I was also assuming wrong,it was not designed around the AR10 but the Tubb 2000 which is a bolt action National course rifle .
