About The Pull Request

Adds 5 damage to the bolt-action rifle cartridges (8x50mmR, .300 Magnum, and 8x58mm Caseless).

Why It's Good For The Game

Complaints about the bolt actions feeling weak have been a thing for a while and will probably continue, but at least now they do get slightly higher damage than the existing .30 caliber cartridges such as .308 to account for the fact that they fire heavier projectiles.

No, I won't make any of them break the 50 damage threshold without hollow point- breaking the 2-shots-to-kill threshold is something pretty much no typical ballistic weapon should do without some special considerations (shotguns at point blank, hollow point ammo) or being an event-only weapon (.50 BMG).
