Thread: Redundant Calibres

Oh, forgot to add - I think shopping for a gun and cartridge today is a bit like shopping for a handbag ............. and the manufacturers know it.
Weatherby certainly knew it back in the day ......... they were one of the first to add 'bling' to a gun in the modern era - the one prior to that was the early 1800's when the American long rifle went through its 'golden age'.

The 6.5mm Creedmore is a example - it does nothing more than a whole bunch of 6.5's in front of it - yet it's taken off like a rabbit with a weasel down its hole. I think we're all influenced by 'marketting hype' - we just gotta have the latest and greatest.

I remember Horse Cartright bought himself a pistol in the Ponderosa TV series that shot around corners .......... and I never heard if that started a trend ..... or not.
