RE: The next big thing!!
I have not gotten caught up in the "new cartridge" craze though I did have a Model 70 in 300 WSM for a short period of time. I frankly cannot see the draw to these expensive, relatively difficult to find cartridges. I have the old standby's ... 30/06 Spr., 308 Win., 300 Win. Mag. That is all I need ... though I do have rifles in 358 Win., 6.5x55 SE, and 444 Marlin.

I know some will disagree, but I still think there is a magic caliber out there that will cleanly take deer and elk without taking your shoulder off....that's what id like to see...something on the order of a 257 Weatherby but maybe in a 27 or 28 caliber...something that can send a 150 gr to 180 lead pill downrange at 3200fps with no more than a 1 inch drop at every 100 yards past 200...lol..i know, i might as well ask for a laser gun....seriously though, i think were gonna continue to see more and more classics get revamped and called new..like the 30tc....basically a 308 with different unavailable powder...

RE: The next big thing!!
you know what i think is the next big thing, the revival of the .284! it doesnt kick hard, it doesnt heat up as fast as the wsm rounds, its much more accurate, its got plenty enough smack for and n. american animal, its everything we are asking for from the wsm round with a cheaper price and lower recoil. its just a matter of a good rivival rifle built completly around the 284

All I know is you couldn't get MY browning a-bolt .284 for love or money-an act of congress can't even make me part with it. My buddy feels the same way about his .284 full custom I built just for him also.
