[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2430305, member: 30902"] Technological advancement is now literally accelerating at an exponential pace compared to the mid point of the last century. With computer modeling of cartridges, Quick Design and Quick Load and other proprietary tech not to mention all of the advancements in powders and bullets it's a whole new world. Even the one thing that helped a handful of cartridges dominate the market in the last century, US Military Procurement, the equation is changed since they are going to non reloadable lightweight composite cases for the future. Millions of GI's who fought in three wars came home believing the 06 was the penultimate achievement in rifle cartridges, then millions more became convinced of the legendary prowess of the 7.62x51 and 5.56 and that's what they chose for their sporting rounds and often in the same platform they were issued. Now it's who can get their new proprietary cartridge into the hands of winning competition shooters and time that with mass rollouts of factory rifles ammo, and components. Just not the same world we grew up in and started our hunting and shooting careers in. One thing that seems inescapable though is the slow demise of the belted magnums for anything other than small niche and custom markets. By mid century they are all likely to be obsolete. [/QUOTE]
