[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1393658, member: 12995"] That doesn't make it a "trend". Trends come and go rather quickly. The fact that every major bullet manufacturer has started building heavy-for-caliber high-BC bullets, is a sign that the "game" (hunting and shooting) is changing. The reason cartridges are a trend, and not bullets, is because bullet calibers are pretty much finite at this point, and now that there are so many different weights and options and so many different manufacturers building rifles in more modern twist rates, they will always continue to make them, while continuing to improve on their designs. Cartridges and wildcats are still pretty unlimited, despite there already being so many out there. Manufacturers will abandon a cartridge at the drop of a hat, if they see its popularity dwindling...Berger is not just going to drop the 180 Hybrid overnight, there are still TONS of people who shoot them, and will always shoot them. Prime example of why cartridges are trends, is the .260 Remington. Remington came out with it 10 years before the 6.5CM, but because at the time, Remington's sales weren't meeting their predictions and expectations, so they decided to completely drop the cartridge and support for it, losing out big time at a chance for their own piece of the 6.5 craze market. But that's another conversation, and I don't want to derail this thread. [/QUOTE]
