The general trend of sporting cartridges since the 30-30 has been increased velocity.
Bob, somehow it seems that ^^this^^ has been forgotten.
Why doesn't everybody just use a 44/40 ?
I think that's right, up to a point but it seems like that trend is changing. To re-state the obvious, with scopes that reliably adjust for distance, flat trajectory isn't as important as it once was. Lot's of guys are throttling back and shooting milder cartridges, especially those that shoot high volume.
The popularity of the Creedmor is a good indicator.
