I'm assuming this is another shot at me...

I've been way up and down the cartridge scale. I also have family out west and am well aware of the smaller chamberings being used for years, both there and here.

I've not traveled to hunt a bunch. Most of my hunting is around home, but I've been on a few trips.

I shoot more than most and decided what I liked long ago. The internet didn't develop my opinions, my experiences guided my path. To say the internet hasn't influenced the opinions of some is ignorance, regardless of the topic.

It would be interesting to get some sales numbers over the last 20 years. That would be the true tale of a trend during the Internet time line. I'd be interested to see figures on die sales each year, component sales each year, ammunition sales each year and rifle sells each year. Those figures would tell the tale, then we could have intelligent conversations about "trends". Opinions could be compared to facts.

I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
