Modern ammunition designs just don't need anywhere near the same amount of case capacity to generate the same amount (or more) energy.
The .38 vs 9mm is a good example as they have roughly the same diameter bullet but the 9mm has almost ~30% more energy despite being ~30% shorter overall.
I prefer the 2:2:4

@pganssle have you considered subscribing to some print news rags? It's not 6 months but it would be a delay between when news occurs and when you consume it.
