There have been a few new wildcat cartridges of late:

22 Creedmoor
22 Nosler
6.8 Western
6.5 PRC
6.5 Bitch Cat

Just to name a very few. I get that if we're not trying who knows what kind of break through we might miss out on.

But for many of these cartridges, on post-development and research but pre-production of dies, barrels, and brass for the masses do they ask the question, "does this cartridge offer something no other cartridge offers?". Or is it the cool factor?


Remember, not everyone has a happy ending, so be happy when you can
