Exactly why I do my own testing...

In magazines and on the internet you can can find pros and cons on everything. It's all about the fads and who's paid to pimp out the cartridge of the day.

Clearly, everyone can buy what they want. Welcome to America!!!

But, nothing takes the place of getting off the couch and trying things for yourself.

Like Gary, the 10mm is my favorite. But, regardless of the media hype, the 40 S&W rocks.

I'll bet in a few years, it'll be the darling again to boost sells for all the sheep following the masses.

The 6.5mm cartridges have been around well over a hundred years. Never particularly popular in the U.S. Now, they're on the cover of every gun magazine out there. As soon as the market is saturated, we'll be "persuaded" something else is better.
