I think this sums it up nicely. There are plenty of great cartridges that aren't mainstream by today's standards. I have several: 41 magnum, 264 Win, even the 222 Remington Magnum, which I am singlehandedly trying to resurrect to it's rightful place as a fantastic cartridge.

The virtues of each cartridge or particular firearm in it's original offering, changes from year to year and when the change isn't popular, it doesn't stop the morphisis.

Along with the obsolescence of cartridges is the state of the firearm itself when we see plastic and stainless steel replacing Chrome-moly and Walnut. I will probably be caught in obsolescence for the rest of my life as I can't accept the preferred changes in firearms to stainless/plastic...
