[QUOTE="gregsjt, post: 2670905, member: 88091"] Basing the popularity, success or future longevity of relatively new rifle cartridges by ammo sales seems pretty disingenuous. Most people don't buy rifle ammo in bulk unless it's .223 or 7.62x39. Lots of people, including me, have rifles that were built years before some of these new cartridges were conceived. Rifles last a long time and many people aren't going to replace a working rifle just for the latest and greatest, therefore, you'll always have lots of ammo sales in cartridges that have been around for a long time. I came across this article by the backfire guy, he looked at various metrics to try to gauge the popularity or success of some of the newer cartridges and I think his metrics are a little more meaningful than ammo sales.
