[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1704302, member: 55944"] These cartridges never caught on because everything is proprietary. This is why weatherby cartridges remain unpopular. They are also very much overbore like the 7mm RUM which boasts one of the shortest barrel life spans. The benefits gained from an extra 300-400fps over a standard 7mm Remington Magnum do not justify all the other downfalls of such a massive case. Ie. Expensive brass, massive recoil, shorter barrel life, lack of easily obtainable components. Guys who hunt and shoot long range seem to enjoy shooting. It’s hard to have an enjoyable time when your teeth rattle with every shot and it costs you hundreds of dollars just to develop an accurate load and by the time your done, you have to replace the barrel and start over.
