A genie has granted your wish to be able to name three new cartridges to be in the stores for you and the public. However you must obsolete two old ones for each new one.....

OK..what's new and what goes?

Mine:
new
6.5-06
338-06
.375 Taylor

obsolete
220 Swift
17 Remington
all four WSMs

Sorry, can't help it. I love the old Swift. LOL

As far as the new ones go, I'll have to think about it. Don't want to waste my wish.

Can we bring back obselete cartridges and get rid of some current ones?

If so I would like to see the return of the 375 Win and the 284 Win. Also I would like the 6.5-284.

You can toss all the WSMs, SAUMs, RUMs, 30-30 Win and the 25-06.

The 338-06 is already comercially loaded and chambered. Be it only Weatherby but it is a comercial cartridge.

My list would be...................
358 ultra mag
270-284
338-284

You could get rid of every single belted cartridge below .375" bullet diameter.

Default RE: you're king for a day

First of all, you can't get rid of the classics like 25-06 and 30-30 Win. Also, dumping all belted cartridges under .375 inch diameter would mean an end to the 7mm Rem Mag, 7mm STW, and a bunch of the Weatherby's...you can't do that either!

IMO, you can get rid of all but the best round in each cartridge class, with a few exceptions. This is what I would keep (rifle cartridges): 22LR, 223, 22-250, 243, 25-06, 257 WBY, 260, 270, 7-08, 7 rem mag, 7 STW,30-30, 308, 30-06, and for 338 and up, I don't have an opinion. Anything.30 cal and smallernot on this list could be dropped...although, maybe the 257 Roberts and 6mm Rem could stay as well.

Am I nuts?What do you guys think?
