That is exactly my point. The cartridge exists solely because the industry wants to get around these silly laws. They didn't pass these laws to spur innovation - they passed them to limit hunters to what lawmakers considered "acceptable" cartridges. The market responded by developing a new cartridge designed to perform as hunters would like while complying with serpentine laws designed to limit performance.
