Is it just me, or do they seem to be introducing new cartridges at a frantic pace lately? .30 TC, the WSM series, 6.5 Creedmoor, .375 Ruger, .300 RCM, 6.8 SPC, .300 Blackout, 6.5-300 Weatherby and I'm sure a ton of others.
Not really wildcats - these are all commercially loaded options. Maybe I'm just being naive but it seems like the pace on new cartridge introductions has really picked up within the last decade versus times prior.
I understand their problem - guns are an item that rarely wear out. If you combine all the used guns in circulation already it's hard to convince people to buy something new, but I can't see many of these at all catching on in the long run. Maybe 2 or 3 tops will have any staying power.
I just have this feeling that in 20-25 years we're going to have an absolute ton of rifles out there that there's technically nothing wrong with except that you can't find ammo for them.
