It will most likely be like the rest of Winchester's offerings and die a slow death. The 300 wsm is still going strong, but this day and time, a "new" cartridge is just a copy of something 30 years ago.
Very true. When Winchester introduced the .300 WSM some time ago, a Winchester rep. was at the YO Ranch handgun hunt extolling the virtues of the then new .300 WSM. After his spiel, I asked him how it was better than my .308 Norma, or .300 Weatherby. He gave me a long stare and responded "Marvin, you are just bad for business". Maybe so, but I still have the Norma and the Weatherby. Old cartridges still kill, old guns are still accurate, and old style bullets still work, they just don't generate many sales of new products.
