Here in the US, this cartridge is called the Grinch. You can find lots of info at both accurateshooter.com and on Bart Sauter's website.

There are two distinct ways to approach this cartridge. You can run an 8 twist barrel shooting the 103 to 108 grain bullets or you can run a 12 twist barrel shooting the 80 grain bullets. Usually, the 600 yard guys are using the 8 twist barrels and the short range benchresters are utilizing the 12 twist / 80 grain combo.
I have one and it seems to me to be real close to the 6mm BRA cartridge. As stated above, it is a nice way to take a rifle with a PPC boltface and use it for longer range. My rifle is a legal 13.5 lb HV rifle. It does have a bit of recoil but is it is a little less than my 13.5lb 30BR.
It will shoot well at 500 meters. Back in September, I used it to win the Huntsville TX light gun. You can see my best target shot with it over on the best target thread. I was shooting Bart's 103 grain Dominators.
The most used powders here are Varget and H4895.
