[QUOTE="Bob Wright, post: 2627041, member: 104363"] It would be interesting to take one of these old cartridges and just push them with these modern components, sturdy and faster twist barrels, quality actions. The AI always comes to mind because of the utility of using parent cartridges or the AI formed brass. I think the stubbornness of rifle manufacturers to stay up with what wildcatters, hunters, competitors wanted, it started killing off the "boring" cartridges and the rifles made for them became boring.I still like many of them. 22-250, 243, 270 all with slow twist, short mag length, shallow throats, etc. Mine need work, I'll admit. They don't get much bench time these days. The new Remington (others too) offerings are apparently addressing most of these shortcomings. I hope they did their homework correctly. [/QUOTE]
