[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2990784, member: 8394"] eh, I was a kid when everything was a belted cartridge or believed a radius shoulder made powder magic. Weatherbys, stw/sta and the 8mm, heck they were even putting a belt on the 450marlin, lazeroni and the like were playing with geometry similar to what became all the rums and then the saums, rcm, wsm and even the nosler cartridges. Remember very clearly the old guy who taught me to load buying what at the time were very expensive dies to load belted magnums so they didn't have belt separation. Real or imagined nobody cares about that with the new ones, heck we don't really even address case neck stretch with all the modern geometries. Solved problems to somebody. Most cartridge allegiance stems from when you bought in, for me it was wsm time. Basically after rum mania and before the saums had a resurgence... college buddy got in a little later is all in on saums. Current hunting buddy is all in on prc... but it was his first modern rifle, heck probably first rifle in 30 years. Remember very clearly when some gun store clerk came in to proselytize for jesus cartridge 6.5 walk on water. Few years later the religion spread to shot and the world was changed, one slow little shot after the next. Some will make it others won't, I'd put the over under on the 27 nos, 30 super carry, and maybe the 6.8 western dieing slower than the 30tc but faster than the 300 rcm.... In little over two weeks another batch will make a splash.... the others will be the 22 arc... er 17 Aguila basically still born. Hornadys got the pr machine figured almost as good as vortex did 15 years ago, some merit, some bull, some glazed eyed sycophants.... but time will tell what was actually good. 20 years from now the question will be "why the 7mm Zim/zero when we have the prc alresdy?". Maybe folks buy shiny, maybe it's what's on the shelf. Not for me to judge.... well except the Creedmoor shooters... [/QUOTE]
