Why wouldn't it disappear?
Exactly.
Fine in Africa perhaps, but for 99.9 % of what is hunted here by 99.9% of hunters it’s pointless. But then, so are most Medium Bores.
Tend to agree, the best of the bunch is the 338 Win Mag, most useful of all pushing 160 gr at 3,325 fps - 300 gr loads at 2,500 fps. There’s nothing the 35 Whelen and 9.3x62 can do that even comes close to the 338 Win Mag’s versatility and horsepower.
No matter what you choose, there is always something bigger, faster, more better. ........... Lots of folks fall into that trap.
99.9% of hunters could hunt with a 30-06 and not want for anything.
