weren't for wildcatters we wouldn't have many interesting cartridges. Look at all the new cartridges that came from the '06, and the 308 brass. Then several from the 223. The progression of hotter, more accurate rounds (not necessarily the same cartridge) is normal. If it weren't that way it would be a damned boring life, driving Model T cars and using 200 year old firearm designs. Gun people, for the most part, are experimenters, constantly looking for better, more accurate rounds, except for the mindless cretins that rave about the 6.5 Creedmore. I am glad for folks like J.D.Jones, P.O. Ackley and others that give us something special to work with. It would be a damned boring world without wildcat cartridges to make us want to try something better.
