By the way, your use of 'uncanny' raises the specter of originality. 300 BLK is a standardization of the 300-221 concept, which was sorely needed. Since this has happened, ammo has dropped from $45 a box to $12.50 a box. Brass has fallen from $1 each to 25 cents each (10 cents for reformed). Uppers have went from $1200+ to under $500. 75 new companies are involved. It is good even for long-time users of 300-221 or Whisper(R).
5.56mm with 30 cal bullets goes back to at least 1969. And by the way, they all copied Remington's design of the case head dimensions and body taper - and I never saw anyone point out the irony of that.
Here is a photo of a 40+ year old cartridge:

Bob, first of all 5th sentence 2nd paragraph. Uppers have went? went? "Gone" would have made you sound as if you had completed middle school. Its difficult for me to take anything beyond that seriously.
Lastly, in this country when someone bestows Holiday greetings its customary to return the salutation.... something to consider as you make your New Years resolutions.... Kindest regard
