re: New Deer Rifle

You can read my comments in the other thread, but I'm not buying another non-mainstream (let's say, top 10 hunting calibers re: popularity) for my main hunting rifle.

A) even in normal times, you will have less selection of ammo types and brands
B) you run the risk of it dying out and having no options.

With as many calibers and cartridges made today, ammo manufacturers aren't going to keep producing them all. Some of these new calibers from the last 20 years will fade away in the next decade.

Which ones, who knows. But I bet 8t ain't .308, .30-06, .270 etc

Hell, people don't talk about the .260. it's a great round and was fairly popular recently. But not as widespread available today.
