And creating yet another cartridge that serves no purpose other than
increasing sales.

As an old wildcat freak, I used to be one of those who believes there
are never enough cartridges. g For example, a K-Hornet is great out
to maybe 175 years, and a .222 is good to 225, but what do you do if
most of the groundhogs are in between? sigh...

If the calibre hasn't been out for over 50 years, I'm not very
interested.

Well, I'm with you there. If the cartridge hasn't been around for at
least 50 years, I don't own a gun that will shoot it. d8-)

That is, except for my Ruger SSM, in .32 H&R Magnum. I don't know the
date for that one but it must be after 1980.

The only new round I support is the .357 Max in my TC Contender and
that's only because it had that barrel when I bought it. Case lots of
that round are NOT available.
