Name a bottlenecked centerfire cartridge, introduced since 1930, and larger than .20 caliber that might fail substantially in that regard?


Not many, and that's the point. Part of the hobby is arguing minutia. grin

In the end, boringness is subjective and determined by application. A 30-06 doesn't make for a very good 13-stripe ground squirrel rifle. But it might prove entertaining!
