Ammunition and reloading components are at the least hard to find in retail stores and through on-line dealers. Development of new cartridges and components should stop. Why research, develop and build what you can’t sustain? The amount of components saved by NOT making new stuff means more of the existing rifles and ammo can be made-----and sold instead of being kept back “for later.” News Flash: Later is here.
The latest cartridge to come from the necked down or shortened 404 Jeffery isn’t going to change the hunting or target shooting world. We have had almost every caliber get a new version of a cartridge with a higher SAMMI-approved pressure limit than something of same caliber. A 416 Rigby Short Magnum isn’t going to change the dangerous hunting arena. A 264 Nosler Fireball won’t make squat for the long-rangers who seek “a perfect” solution to ringing steel at 1600 yards.
Your thoughts???
