Several fellows over on the " � Gunwriters" forum are swapping opinions about the progress in cartridges that shooters and hunters have enjoyed in the last and current centuries.
How nice it'd be if our next great progress would be wide-spread recognition of the empty foolishness of the fetish for muzzle velocity at whatever cost in down-range results and right-next-to-the-face risks.
Just engineering loads to chamber pressures no higher than 50,000 lb/sq in. (instead of 60,000 lb/sq in. and higher) produces demonstrably wonderful benefits in accuracy, case longevity, barrel longevity, better recoil, and better long-range performance � as well as better safety.
