The 7x57 is not boring! The 300 WSM who cares.
Exactly my sentiment. My tongue was securely pushing my cheek when that was written. Those chamberings that have stood the test of time and passed with honours into this present have done so for a very good reason.
the 7-08 tried to duplicate the 7x57 why?
the 260 tried to duplicate the 6.5x55 why?
the 308 tried to duplicate the 30-06 why?
I believe it is so a new generation can believe they have improved on the previous. There have been improvements in ballistic projectiles to be sure, but were they eally needed? All the above just work even better than they did with cup and core, but did the game need to be more dead?
These are just some of the thoughts of an old recoil hound. The last couple of years I have succombed to a couple new age rounds. The 375 H&H and the 257 Roberts. I guess we are all affected by the "new is better" advertising.
