While I can agree with just about everyone's comments, we all have to keep tinkering and experimenting and creating to advance. I don't have a use for most of the new calibers either but I built a 6.5x284 before they were the "in" thing. (and I love it I might add lol) And most of you own or shoot regularly calibers that may be "standard" today but when they first arrived most people didn't think they needed them or that they would die out. Your 270, 25-06, 22-250, 243, and lots of others were wildcats and extremely experimental at one time. My favorites were all actually billed as either "too much" or "not needed" but now pale in comparison to what we can acheive with brass, bullet, and powder.
Am I going to rush out and buy the next new caliber....heck no! But the future improvements and innovations in our sport lie in those who stretch the envelopes and spend the money to determine if a 35deg shoulder shoots better than a 37deg.
Keep shooting!
