I did look up the word obsolete and here are a few more definitions that seem more inline with how I would use the term.

1. No longer in use: an obsolete word.
2. Outmoded in design, style, or construction: an obsolete locomotive.
3. Biology Vestigial or imperfectly developed, especially in comparison with other individuals or related species; not clearly marked or seen; indistinct. Used of an organ or other part of an animal or plant.
tr.v. ob�so�let�ed, ob�so�let�ing, ob�so�letes
To cause to become obsolete.

Now I might have agreed with the term, obsolete, if we were talking about the .270 Win or the .280 Rem. shocked laugh

To label the .264 Win Mag obsolete in any way is simply wrong and the author should be should be forced to hunt with a 30-06 (talk about obsolete) for the rest of his life.

264 Win Mag RULES.
