The 6.5crd never interested me, especially with all the extraordinary praise it was getting.
From the perspective of someone who strictly hand loads, its just a smaller version, ballistically, of a magnum length loaded 30-06, with very slightly better ballistics. ( seemed like a lot of comma’s for one sentence?)
It’s very interesting now that srp brass is available. I am really digging this cartridge now. You don’t have to expend lr primers to target shoot. Very easy load development and behaves predictably.
