40 years ago Charles Askins wrote an article on rifle cartridges that were dying and which would soon be dead.
Included on the list is one of my absolute favorites, the .300 Savage.
Askins never fully defined by what would constitute death of the cartridge, but as far I know, none of the cartridges that he called out to be on death's door in 1985 or so has truly died.
