The 7mm rem mag is never going away. Neither is the 243, 30-06, 308, 270, 300 win mag, etc.
They don’t have to “go away” to be relegated to certain rifles, short production runs, or just not offered at all. Finding a particular rifle in stock chambered in the old standbys is getting harder by the day. Proof research has quit chambering 7 rem mag barrels in favor of 7 PRC. Has nothing to do with what’s actually better, it’s what is being marketed.

No it's not. Remington, Winchester, Savage, Tikka, and Sako, etc will keep pumping them out.
You know what they aren't making many of? 7mm RUM and the WSMs which came out only a few years ago. Gun manufacturers will keep putting out calibers that the ammunition manufacturers make ammo for. The 26, 28, and the 30 Nosler probably won't be in production in 10 years. Look at the 338 Lapua. Not many people buying that either.
If you want a new caliber that's fine but don't be surprised if ammo and brass become scarce.
