25 years ago it seemed Texas was the place where the .22 Hornet, .218 Bee, .25-20 and .32-20 came to retire. There were many in use and at the gun shows. Today the Hornet seems common around the country. Lots of small game to hunt and good reasons to do so.
The .25-06 used to be the National cartridge of Texas and you still see many custom rifles in use. The .300WSM made a good run at it but things have calmed down.
There are many .250-3000 Savage Model 99's in West Texas. Most sleep in the safe - waiting for the great Grandchildren to begin hunting.
