    Have been catching up on some reading on the 222rem. In a nutshell, it was created because there was a rather large void between the 22Hornet and the 220Swift and very shortly after we have a magnum version and then on and on from there. Getting back to MD’s original question, the facts are that “Nature abhors a vacuum” and we as a species cannot stop tinkering with shit. It maybe a spiral of ever diminishing returns but its in our genes and we’ll probably never be satisfied with the one thing.

    I’m good with that.
