Just to summarize this thread and extrapolate a bit.
BORING
Easy availability of ammo.
Easy availability of components (mostly cases).
Lots of slippery bullets available.
A plethora of modern rifles chambered for it.
Standard manual loads in the 60-65 kpsi range.
Lots of published, pressure tested loads with up to date components.
Created or legitimized post World War II.
EXCITING, NEATO, COOLER THAN THE FONZ.
Relatively scarce availability of loaded ammo.
Relatively scarce availability of components (mostly cases), with some manufacturers only creating annual runs.
No modern firearms chambered for it except limited runs or from smaller manufacturers.
Standard manual loads in the under 60 kpsi range, often way under.
A relative scarcity of published loads using limited numbers of older powders and often copies of data from older manuals.
Invented pre World War II.
Preferably invented pre World War I.
Double extra credit if it was invented pre Spanish American War.
Just wanted to make sure I understand the criteria.
