Namely medium bore large case offerings. I'm a bit perplexed.....
At one end of the spectrum you have the small bored stuff and the quintessential mid powered assault rifle chamberings. 5.56,204,6.5g,6.8 and 7.62x39 to name a few
Then at the other extreme end of the caliber spectrum you have the large case head big bores. .450, .458socom and 50 Beowulf
HOWEVER
There's practically NOTHING in the middle in terms of large case head medium bore offerings 7mm to 35 caliber other than a few obscure WSSM wildcats. I want a cartridge that'll work in the ar15 platform that'll basically replicate 7x57 or 300sav ballistics. The 30RAR looks promising but I don't expect this cartridge to make it much beyond the initial press release. I hope some manufacturer steps up and introduce some new cartridge offerings in this range. The wildcats are OK but I really would prefer a chambering with factory data and production brass and dies avalible.
With the exploding popularity of the AR15 maybe hornady or remington will step up to the plate. I'm hoping that I won't have to wait long.
