I'm just surprised no one's done anything truly new and offered a legit new bore diameter cartridge. The .23 and .29 seem glaringly obvious (and pointless but pretty much every cartridge in the last 30 years has been unnecessary - an improvement upon what exists perhaps but not doing anything that couldn't already be done).So, how about how poor the timing is that they 277 sig fury and the 6.8 western are launched right on top of each other, and both of them fill a hole that didn't really exist. I think some of you nailed it, they are just praying to be the next 6.5cm. They are hoping for the equivalent of "going viral" in today's nonsensical world of cartridge marketing. The 6.5 caliber is exhausted for mass marketing, so they had to move on to thr next probable diameter opportunity.
Next year 4 companies will make .25 cartridges with awesome marketing names, and that is the culture we have now..
