Ok...last time and I'll make it overly simple.
Let's say 50 years ago there were three cartridges available and 50% of the people chose one cartridge...the 30-30.
Real popular.
Now there are 15 cartridges available. Six people use the 30-30 and four or five use one each of the other 14.
Overall the 30-30 is not as popular...but it still could be the most popular single cartridge.
Get it?
Now we'll probably never know...but for example Henry cannot keep up with demand of their new 30-30 side loading gate rifle...so someone is buying these things.
Again, just because you don't see the value of something...it doesn't mean others feel the same way.
