    Greetings to you both Sakoswarosorted and RUMPY,
    My point, perhaps poorly made is that here are two new cartridges related to technology that has failed commercially in the past that appear to be aimed to fill voids that do not exist. It seems to me (and I have been wrong in the past) that their life may be short. Other cartridges that have appeared recently such as the 6.5 and .30 PRC plus the 6.5 Grendel and Creedmoor and others do seem to fill a gap. Two of my recently purchased rifles (this century) are T3 Lites in 6.5 x 55 and .223 (8 inch twist) might have been a Creedmoor and a Grendel if I had procrastinated a bit longer. I do qualify as an old firearms enthusiast but my Red Bands are only used for gardening and my last Swandri has long rotted away. The T3 6.5 mm wears a 6 power scope and is a great lightweight stalking rifle my lightweight stalking body however seems to have deserted me. Hand loading for my modest collection of old soldiers is most enjoyable to me hence my last comment.
    All the Best Grandpamac.
