I don't think so. It never left.

One last thing: In part, gunwriters earn a living writing about the latest company offerings, but personally, they have their favourites. If you had five well known gunwriters around a campfire and asked them what their absolute keeper cartridge would be, I think the answers might surprise you.


"It never left", well put and so true.

And no, I don't think I'd be surprised. Old farts (me included) generally like the older rounds, based on nostalgia and years of experience. I'll admit to a Loony desire to try new stuff, but when the chips are down, hard to beat proven ordnance.

And, Heaven forbid, it got down to just one or two rifles, the "old '06" would definitely be there.
