welcome aboard the forum.

competition may have a small part in what scribes report but i think the main reason is lack of interest by american sportsmen and women.

good golly miss moly, seems like every tuesday there is another "new" bullet or powder on the market. we are swamped with new and improved stuff to try out. and for some folks money and time to invest are a big bargaining chip.

i for one have gotten to the point in life when i find something that performs well i stick with it. reason being i have an abundance of firearms and i'm tired of running all these tests when i could be hunting or shooting instead. if you only have a few rifles to work with it's great, but i have most calibers from 17 to 458 win mag in my inventory. it gets to be a lot to maintain and load for. but i'm not complaining. i love my firearms.

i do manage to keep the lights burning at vihtavouri, nosler and a few other companies.

one bullet that does interest me is the oryx. haven't tried any yet. someday.

back to the original question. the gun writers just don't report on these topics because of lack of interest and like i said competition may have some part in it but i don't think it is the leading cause. why report on something that is going to have a small fan base.

again, welcome to the forum.

best wishes.
