How do all of you see the waxing and waning of popularity of different cartridges?
It seems to me that in the last 50 years or so several cartridges might be gaining popularity in the US (.308, .300 Win Mag, 7mm Rem. Mag, 7mm-08, 6.5xmm, .45-70, etc.) and some might be decreasing in popularity to one degree or another (possibly .30-30, .300 Savage, 303 British, .270, .30-06, etc.). Of course, many of the ones on my proposed list of decreasing popularity were so dominant at one time that they still remain quite popular.
Any thoughts on this?
