Winners & Losers

[skeet]

I've been kinda stayin outta this one.. But have to say..I'm not of the opinion that there is going to be anything new and improved that will actually be as touted. None of the new breed of cats here has shown themselves to be any better than existing cartridges. Yep I have a couple 'cats but none of the new super duper unbelievable rifle calibers that are or were supposed to be sooo much better than those that came before..Some actually do gain as much as 100 ft a second over some of the older calibers. But that is supposing that you use the 26 in bbl that they use and load to the same incredible pressures. What will we do when those same rifles are 80 yrs old..and suspect because of the materials they were made of and their ages.. The same reasons pressures have supposedly been reduced in such suspect calibers as the 30-06..270..257 Robts etc etc.. I guess it's always nice to see and have something new..but to have new calibers just so they can sell more new guns is ridiculous.. I for one refuse to buy them..they really show me nothing over the older calibers..Good riddance to their passing...Ain't I a stick in the mud??? hehehe
