it is all about the rifles. Keep waiting on Kimber to chamber the montana in this cartridge...probably a long wait..
Cant see this happening. If it does & another company climbs aboard. It very well could survive. But the 338 cal is a bitch to break into.
Me thinks the 338Fed will go longer, but in the end, will die too.
I cannot see any short mags take or replace the WSM's. The SAUM's failed as will the RCM's!
..........I wouldn`t BET on that my friend!!!! The difference between Hornady marketing their RCMs vs Remington`s RSAUM marketing was and is a huge difference favoring Hornady.
You under-estimate the marketing going ons behind the scenes at Hornady.
Let`s see now!.....About 3 years ago, there were these same predictions by the naysayers about another cartridge such as; "It`s not going anywhere",,,,"it will be short lived",,,,"only a fad",,,,"only a trend",,,,"Hornady and Ruger don`t know what they`re doing",,,,,and a few other predictions as I recall!
That cartridge?........The 375 Ruger!.........Where are these naysayers now? Probably drowning in their failed predicitions.
You never know what the rifle makers might chamber as well.
