The butt-hurt exhibited by those invested in similar cartridges just goes on and on. Recently, it's started to show up over the 6mm version as well, from folks with .243s and 6x47s who keep pointing out that their pets can do anything the new guy can, from custom rifles with fast-twist barrels and sometimes other custom features, and in the case of the 6x47, requiring necking down pricey Lapua brass. Great fun, all of it, but can't begin to make a ripple in the marketplace against excellent ready to go rifles and ammo. No reason for the whiners to switch over, but also no reason for someone just getting in to take the hard way, unless being different and smarmy is an advantage worth pursuing.

Still baffling to me though, is why anyone gives a fat rat's azz what anyone else uses, like it's a personal slight on their character.


What fresh Hell is this?
