[QUOTE="Trappernewt, post: 2670873, member: 96515"] I think we are talking about some different things here. I have calibers sitting in the safe on that list above. Haven’t bought a box of ammo for them in years. I would venture to guess you are both right in your own ways. I had a 7PRC built cause it interests me and I bought factory ammo because that’s the only way to get brass. I’ll likely never buy another box of factory ammo for that rifle again. New rifle sales and ammo sales I wouldn’t always assume go hand in hand. A stat I saw the other day said the average age of a hunter in the US is over 40. And 25% of all rifle hunters are between 45-50. Assuming less than 2% of those hunters are remotely interested in what we are on this forum daily to read about. I’d say there are more rifles at ranges and in the woods 10+ years old than new guns every deer season. One a recent top ten list I saw .223 was #1 and .308 was number 2. There is more .223 and .308 ammo purchased every year than numbers 5-10 combined. I would tend to think that someone going out buying a NEW rifle is more interested in a “new” caliber. Just my thoughts…. [/QUOTE]
