4Yeah. Bullets I can cast, ammo I can load. Brass is tougher. It is encouraging to see starline already making 350L brass.I, too, think that's the main test.

I never worry about it too much. There are very few cartridges that are completely dead. It may be expensive but very few cartridges are completely dead.
There are very few centerfire cartridges that are completely dead. Dead rimfire cartridges are dead for real.
When the U.S. Military adopts it.

When it isn’t EtronX and I have or can make brass for it.
Someone, after I am dead, will appreciate the amount of 7mm BR brass I purchased when I could.
I have never bought 6mm PPC brass and know others that haven’t either but it’s alive and well.
I think with enough marketing any could live and without it, some great ones don’t.
Look at how many versions of the 300 blk didn’t make it and now some think it’s the most versatile round ever made.....?
That's funny, but probably true.There was one of the outdoor magazines that covered this years ago.
It's called the Two Dot test.
When the gas station in Two Dot Montana carries it, the cartridge has made it.
Every year or two it seems like the manufacturers come up with the latest and greatest new cartridge. Some make it, some don't, and some end up as zombies (still around, not widely adopted or available). It looks to me that 6.5 Creedmore, for example, is popular enough that it has made it and will continue to be available for the forseeable. I hear enough mention of it and enough manufacturers have come up with rifles, ammo, components, dies, etc. Other than really, really clear examples like this, how do we know a cartridge has made it?
The genesis of my question is that I like the idea to 350 legend, but I am not eager to join the parade until I know this will not end up being an orphan.
I guess 9mm Major "made it" because I am finding increasing number of overly expanded 9mm brass
