The critique goes something like this: \u201cInstead of ammo companies shoving new cartridges down our throat, they should just make more ammo for the rifles we already have.\u201d Consider this criticism to be the background music in our <a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/the-outdoor-life-podcast\/id1560573207?i=1000649065255\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">latest Outdoor Life Podcast<\/a>, in which I interview shooting editor John B.

Ammo availability and pricing for many cartridges has been erratic since the COVID-19 pandemic. No one likes to find out they can\u2019t easily buy ammo for a rifle they\u2019ve had for years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am sympathetic to the general shooter out there who just wants to shoot their gun and not feel like they have to take a math class to understand the latest and greatest,\u201d says shooting editor John B. Snow.<\/p>\n<p>But on the flip side, the question of \u201cneed\u201d kind of misses the point. In recent years, ammo makers have adopted principles of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/guns\/modern-cartridge-design\/\">Modern Cartridge Design<\/a> to create cartridges that are more efficient. Some of those new loads that are relevant to hunters include the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/guns\/22-arc-review\/\">22 ARC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/guns\/6-5-prc\/\">6.5 PRC,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/guns\/7mm-prc-tested-and-reviewed\/\">7mm PRC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/guns\/300-prc-vs-300-win-mag\/\">.300 PRC<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.outdoorlife.com\/guns\/6-8-western-cartridge-review\/\">6.8 Western<\/a>.\u00a0 So even if you never buy a rifle chambered in these cartridges, it\u2019s useful to understand their qualities if only to get an idea of where the trend in cartridge design is headed.
