I would say if anything it’s gained popularity almost exponentially over the last 18-24 months.
Several high quality brass options that were non existent in the past.
All kinds of 300 WSM threads on various forums
Norma Bondstrike works very well. My rifle killed 2 Canadian moose this...
I put a second small braces rubber band over one locking tab and under the other. That takes the buzz out of almost all SEVR. I’ve done a cross cross on a few that were positive they were made to rattle
