The next big thing!!
 
What do you guys think the industry will try an dump on us this year? We've seen WSM,WSSM,RSUM and Ruger compact magnums. The 300 WSM seems to have done well here with a slite fallowing of 270 WSM. The WSSM was a flop across the board and we haven't even seen a Ruger compact mangnum or the 338 Federal. I have a 270 WSM and like it. It shoots well but, doesn't give a big enough boost over the 270 win. That i would have traded one to get it. Whats next?

Who knows. And I don't know what they are doing to this new propellant to give these 'small' cases the same MV as the old reliables like the 338 Win Mag. and 300 Win Mag with similar pressures.
I think if they made this propellant available to the public you could probably get pertty close to these same ballistics out of your bolt action 308. Can you imagine something like a bolt action 358 win with this new powder. With - say - 25% increase in MV/Eng without any increase in pressure? That would be one heck of a round.

Wouldn't it be nice if they used it in eveything. It would be nice to juice up a few old favorites like my 338-06 and 257 Roberts :)

Right now, I'm not so much concerned about what the "industry" may dump on us as what the upcoming election could DUMP on us....

Maybe a big push back to the lever action guns? They are already making a good comeback so maybe they will capitalize on that? Just my guess...

Vote Obama?? - NO WAY
And if I were to choose, I'd much rather share a sleeping bag with Palin than Bitten.

I'd rather see some classics come back. The game animals haven't gotten tougher hides and the range targets could care if it's a .22lr or a .50 BMG. Don't need any more whix-bang cartridges, all the niches have been filled and then some. Rather than putting out new cartridges, how bout offering new models in which to use the existing cartridges in.

Depends on who wins the election. If boracoly wins they will be selling fancy new sling shots.
