“new millennium”

The Sharps Rifle Company (SRC) developed the .25-45 Sharps cartridge and introduced it in 2012.

Deer rifles and the cartridges loaded in them have run the gamut the last 50 years, from the Winchester 94 in .30-30 Win. to the Weatherby Mark V in .30-378 Wby. Mag. and the DPMS ARL in 6.5 Creedmoor.
