Correct. Didn't quite pass many tests to make it into the law enforcement community as a solid contender but kept alive by many who don't understand ballistics.

I have only used one on that list. The 7-30 waters in a model 94. It's a decent performer. I would like to get one someday.

the autor is wrong. for example the 284 is well liked in Europe, Australia and NZ and for a very good reason.
Here is also winning F class competitions.

They're all super deadly. I hate ballistic wars...
9mm Luger.
Fun fact: Did you know it got the name "Luger" from that same substance you cough up after hawking one back?
*the more you know*
I am thinking the "calibers that did not make it" are dead calibers that never made it past the origional manufacturer and no one makes guns for them any longer.
Revolvers in 41 were produced by S&W, Ruger, Taruas and Dan Wesson. Lever action rifles in 41 were produced by Marlin and Henry. The .41 magnum has had and still does have guns being made in it. The latest rifle in 41 (2016) is made by Henry in their big boy steel. Smith and Wesson still makes a 41 mag revolver.

The 41 may not be as popular as the 357 or 44 but it is far from being a dead cartridge. It also has a strong "cult like" following that will ensure it doesn't fade away like the .221 fireball.
Dayten is going to have something to say about that.
The 06 is never going to die. It is forever engrained in American history as the cartridge that won both WWs.

There is also the walking dead calibers ... you know what I mean. Lol
I figure as long as the major ammo companies are still making the ammo the calibers are not dead.
