It is kind of a circle. Rifles aren't made for the caliber because it is not popular, and because it is not popular, rifles are not made for it. Also, barrels are not made for it, brass and bullets are not easily found, milsurp ammo is corrosive, erosive, and fouls the bore. The rimmed case can present feeding problems.
It is an excellent hunting cartridge, but the fact is that American sportsmen have available a wide variety of cartridges that are as good or better and do not have the drawbacks.
