What I've noticed is that if a cartridge suffers a drop off in popularity, it's because most shooters are like women changing shoe styles every few years.
Because they play with rifles and cartridges more than they use them to actually kill bunches of animals,they are constantly running around looking for the newest and latest cartridge offering so many illusory advantages over their "old', "antiquated" 270, 30/06, or 7 Rem Mag.
This leads to safes stuffed with rifles chambered for cartridges that are out of fashion.
History has proven many of these new 90 day wonders fail to deliver any significant improvement. There is a very small handful of truly ubiquitous worldwide BG cartridges available. The 7 Rem Mag is one of them.
