So then,why is it that a good performing cartridge only has pockets of popularity? Is it the magnumitis of North America? Have the spin-doctors convinced enough purchasers that they must only have only the newest belted offerings,or be laughed out of the bush? Has the magnum-mothership abducted most of the new buyers and turned them into belted magnumoids? I'm finding myself more and more every day,coming around to Daryl's way of thinking on belted calibers.
