9mm

People normally buy what they like, and they like the way the cartridge is packaged even though it has changed little in the past 100 to 150 years. The .22 rimfire cartridge is the most popular cartridge in terms of sales, and though more accurate loadings have been developed it is essentially the same as the day it was first sold. Modern powders and primers have certainly improved our ammunition, but the basic principle is still the same.

On the other hand, Remigton Arms recently promoted a new cartridge that was ignited electronically in a specially prepared rifle. It had virtually zero ignition time lag. It went over like the proverbial turd in the punchbowl.
