The case is unbelted and chambers smoothly. It has no physical shortcomings. It may not win the race in the long run but it won't be for lack of performance... but rather as a result of demographics... namely old guys who are set in their ways.
All your points are valid, but that last comment is the only one that matters as far as a cartridge living or dying in the World of the shooting public!!
