It's interesting how when pressure tested data becomes available, cartridges often lose some of their luster. The same thing occurs when a new wonder powder comes on the market (for example, RE-17 being loaded to the gills in all sorts of cartridges when it came out). Suspect we will see something similar happen now with SAAMI testing of the 22 Creedmoor.
