[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1527009, member: 85987"] If they don't produce new cartridges you don't go out to buy new guns and other shtuff. I don't have/need a prc but I'll own one at some point. I didn't have/need a creedmoor last year but I bought one. I don't have/need a 300 mag but I will buy one sooner same for a 338. If it was all about need in the shooting world we would be still shooting 30-30's. Which is still effective in it's performance envelope. Not to mention a great truck gun because it is going to do the task asked of it. What's lost by alot of older shooters is the fact that the gun companies of old F'ed us with what they twisted the barrels for. They told us that you can shoot this but not that. Remington was the worst. 12tw 6mm vs 10tw 243. That fight was over quickly and for the wrong reasons. 260 = 9tw 20 degree shoulder and we still have proponents telling us that it is a better design than the creedmoor. 338 win mag *** were they thinking 8mm remington boy there's a winner All that case needed was a bullet. Had remington came out with a 240grn accutip or bronze point bullet it would have been a great niche elk cartridge you could ream a surplus mauser for. I did 8mm 06 out of 3 and I think dad still has the reamer. If I could have found some decent bullets in 8mm I would have shot that instead of the 300 bee. As has been stated the WBY factory brass sucked and at the prices it was in the 80's and early 90's it really stung shooting any kind of volume. I used that for long range bench rest and some other shooting disciplines. I would have loved to have the 375 ruger case back then. I had a bunch of cases with the bulge in front of the belt. I looked at the 300/8mm mag hard back then but couldn't see much difference with my issues. Ended up catching the sporting clays bug and got out of rifle games for a long time. [/QUOTE]
