Reading this thread I've realized most everything I shoot is a "failed cartridge".
Can someone please tell where the safe space is?
My personal favorite. 300 Holland & Holland, if ever there was a magnum worthy of the name, that was it, for many years, it was King of all for pure speed and energy in a .30 cal bullet! I have heard of blown out A.I. type chambering that can take it further then .300 win mag, but honestly, what's the point!
404 Jeffries : the parent to many excellent cartridges.More Favorites. 404 Jeffries, .458 Winchester
.500 Jeffries .50 Alaskan
Um, yeah! I watch all Matt's vids, sport his merch here and there and yeah the 5.7 is lame for penetration!
5.7 isn't popular because of the laws we have. The ammo it was meant for is banned due to us not being allowed to have armor penetrating ammo for pistols.5.7 (what's are they trying to prove? ).
The stock on that thing is hypnotic

Today I stopped by a small sporting goods store that has been around since, according to the wife of the owner, 1946. I remember going there as a youth for fishing supplies, and with my father and older brother for firearm-related items back in the 1980s. My reason for visiting was largely nostalgia, and also for .44 Special ammo, but I mainly wanted to see the old place.
Anyway, whilst there, I spied not one, but two boxes of .307 Winchester ammunition on the shelf. No, that isn't a type-o, such a cartridge exists. I believe it is still factory loaded, but it never caught on. I've read online that it is popular in Spain because it has .308-like ballistics, but isn't a "military caliber", which is prohibito in that country.
During the drive down the 101 I was thinking of various failed cartridges in the modern era. There are certainly old cartridges, good and bad, that have faded away, but I'm thinking of relatively modern (post-war) introductions.
I can think of a number, but I thought I'd toss it out there for discussion: what "new" cartridges do you recall making a splash and then going away? Were they good, bad, or meh? Why do you think they failed?
