This video critically examines nine modern firearm cartridges deemed unnecessary or redundant in the current market. The host argues that many new releases are 'cash grabs' lacking true innovation. Specific cartridges like the 7mm Backcountry, 6.8 Western, 338 ARC, and the entire Nosler family are dissected for their perceived shortcomings in performance, market positioning, or bullet selection. The review highlights cartridges designed for specific niches, like straight-wall hunting, questioning their practical advantage over established options.

The 6.5 PRC is a powerful and popular cartridge, offering significantly more energy and a flatter trajectory than the 6.5 Creedmoor, while maintaining manageable recoil. It's proven effective for long-range shooting and hunting large game like elk, especially with appropriate bullet selection and barrel length considerations. While not identical to the 6.5 Creedmoor, its performance justifies its growing popularity.

The .338 Lapua Magnum is a powerful cartridge, but its high cost for factory ammunition (around $6/round) and expensive reloading components make it impractical for many. Its significant noise and concussion also limit its range-friendliness. However, its exceptional performance, easily penetrating half-inch steel at 50 yards and retaining significant energy at long range, is its primary justification for ownership.
