[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1375671, member: 2736"] After all the discussions and debates, the answer is simple. Is any particular cartridge really necessary. If you eliminated Half the available cartridges, We would still have more than we need. But most gun nuts never get enough and seem to always be looking for something new and searching for that old demon called velocity. Most could make do with 3 or 4 different cartridges, and the old tried and true cartridges already have that covered. If you looked at a 22 rim fire, a medium cartridge 6mm to 7mm , a good magnum 30 or 338 and then a boomer from 375 to 458 what else would a person really need to hunt/shoot anything. It ends up being a ford versus Chevy debate with dodges thrown in just to keep the debate going. I like all firearms/cartridges but don't own all of them. Just my two cents. :cool: J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
