It's called boring because it is boring....

Boringly effective, boringly efficient, boringly deadly on most any critter short of BG and would do a job on most of them with the right bullet.

Old, not some hot new roll out, so not much press, not much excitement.

And who wants to be seen with such a curmudgeon of a round...? Well, me for one. One old curmudgeon toting another old curmudgeon. Sorta grow on each other.
