I own a couple of calibers that are considered "low popularity" cartridges but I would not call them failed cartridges. I have a Remington 700 in358 Winchester that is as good as any 308 in its ability to take game at range and I own a couple of Brownings in 257 Roberts that will easily keep up with any 243 in taking game or varmints at range. They are not popular rounds but they are effective and what I wanted. The only thing wrong with these cartridges is that they were marketed wrong (the 358) or under loaded and brought to the market at the wrong time (the 257 Roberts). With modern pressures and the right gun they are spectacular performers on a par with most hunting rounds.
