    2017 SHOT Show: New Cartridges

    New cartridges introduced at SHOT, (or very recently and promoted here) include the 6.5-300 Weatherby, two from Nosler, and the 6mm Creedmoor from Hornady.

    Yes, the 6.5-300 Wby was announced late last year, but is being promoted as new at the booth. They dont want to steal their own thunder...
    (And yes, it has been around as a do-it-yourself wildcat for probably three decades. But SHOT isnt about what somebody can cook up in their basement, it is where manufacturers get to shown off new stuff.)

    The first of the two from Nosler is the 33 Nosler, again based on the large case size of the 404 Jeffery case, as is the others in the family. (26,28, and 30 Nosler)
    And as with the 6.5-300 Wby above, they did actually release details a little while ago.
    They refer to this one as The Patriarch of the cartridge family.
    More info: https://www.33nosler.com/

    The other was only announced days ago. It is the 22 Nosler.
    In order to keep the head diameter the same (to use the same bolt), and yet increase the case capacity by increasing body diameter, this round has a rebated rim.
    It is interesting that it is marketed towards the AR-15 system. By swapping out the AR-15 upper, and changing mags (to one with 6.8 SPC Rem lips), you can add another 300 fps to your gun.
    Of course this is probably a lot more useful in a country that allows you to take your AR out varmint hunting...
    More info here: https://www.nosler.com/blog/news-and...5the-22-nosler

    I dont have a lot on the 6mm Creedmoor yet, other than it is the 6.5 necked down.
    Not much on the Hornady site yet either.

    I can't fathom why a company doesn't produce "new" rimfire calibres like 32, 38, and 41. The sales they would get would be unbelievable.

    I get it, they're doing "their thing", and branding their product. But honestly, we start running into such minute differences, that it seems silly at times. Either way, some will love it, and some will hate it. And that's cool. The more firearm options the better.

    SOMEONE JUST START DOING MORE RIMFIRE IN 32/38/41 PLEASE

    Why do you think those would be popular?

    Because when Navy Arms ran .32 they sold out so fast people's heads spun.

    Antique shooters on both sides of the border crave these rounds.

    The 32 are for prohib revolvers this side of the border though.

    If I remember correctly that ammo run by Navy Arms was prior to C68 and the decline of short barrel and 25/32 cal handguns. I think that was late 80s or very early 90s?

    At any rate it is like any other business enterprise, they produce what has a large demand from a huge portion of the population of gun owners. I also understand that tooling up for rimfire rounds like you desire is complex given what they view as a limited population of consumers.
