That most certainly isn't true. No sense in bashing by taking that angle. We can all name elitist oddball cartridges from small makers because just about everyone on this forum has a closet full of them! There are some I would own and many more I would never own. The point is that it's usually not a good portent of things to come for a custom gunmaker to be purchased by a corporate giant.
