A lot of the crude exported via super tankers is loaded via underwater pipeline because the ships are either too large to enter harbor or too hazardous. The oil is pumped offshore to deepwater outlets where the tankers 'plug in' and fill up.

No way a .300 Whisper/Blackout will come anywhere near a .260 or 7x57.
With a 125-130 grain bullet it is essentially a clone of the 7.62x39mm
The autoloaders are becoming increasingly popular around here. The question is whether the users are 'hunters' or 'shooters'.
