What are some cartridges out now that you think make other cartridges obsolete?
For me, 300 PRC makes 300 Win Mag obsolete. Anything with a rimmed case that doesn't need it needs to die for the inherent difficulties of making a rimmed cartridge as accurate as its non-rimmed counterpart, see 300 PRC v 300 WM. 28 Nosler and 7 Rem Mag are probably two more. 260 REM needs to obsolete the 6.5CM, or the other way 'round. The 260 REM is slightly better but I don't even care, the world just needs to pick one and kill the other. They are so close in performance its stupid, there need'nt be 2 of them as one pulls market away from the other for no real world reason and it impedes standardization of components. If the world recognized the 260 REM (read, if Remington's marketing department was half of what Hornady's is) for what it is then the 6.5 CM wouldn't even exist.
What other cartridge pairings come to mind for the rest of you?
