    I asked @gundoc on another forum why CAC bit the dust.

    In the early 70's I used a CAC round that had a nickel case shooting a 38 gr HP(Hi Speed I think it was called) which was a really good round back then. Used it for all the small game including goats, heaps of goats fell to that round.
    We used to use our high powered rifles the first day and generally run out of ammo so we then switched to the 22 and that CAC ammo and sometimes Winchester Wildcat solids both were excellent. Great Days on the hill back then, we did a lot of shooting back then.
