If companies weren't constantly coming up with new designs and marketing them we would all still be hunting with flint tipped spears and driving model A's. We wouldn't even have gun powder.

So save that BS argument and be dang glad that we have such a variety of cartridges to choose from and own.

I never said that there was "no need for a new cartridge" I said that if you are going to bring one out, it should have something unique to offer. The short magnum offers nothing new. Hey, if you want one, buy one! But, if you have the original, what new capabilities have you gained? Same ballistics=same capabilities. Maybe you have different stock or barrel design. If that is worth the money to you, by all means; it is your money.

Extending the argument to cars is a specious attempt at making your point. However, since you brought it up........since the mid seventies, car prices are around 7 times higher for the same or less capabililities. Would you like to extend that "benefit" to firearms?

Now, before you get all angry, think about it before you reply. All I ask is some thought.

My postiion is that, if you look at real needs, it is superfluous to have both the parent and short magnum. I would rather spend the money on something entirely different to ad to my collection. Whatever floats your boat.

The 7mm mag is derived from 375 H&H. The WSM & RUM RSAUM are parented from the 404 jeffery, different but perform the same,so you could have one of each and not brake your rule.

You cannot have too many guns.
If your gunsafe is full,
you need another gunsafe.
If there is space in your gunsafe,
you need another gun.
