I think every guy should have, and load for, a rifle that he likes to shoot.
If it takes a swede for that to happen, so be it...
Seems like the long way around the block, to me, but there are those who enjoy the extended stroll. Been there myself a time or two...
We just had a dunham's store open up locally. It is as close as we'll come to any big box sporting goods store.
They have a [bleep]-ton of ammo on the shelf. They have most of the Weatherby cartridges, the H&H's, the RUM's, even the .220 swift and the .225 win. I was personally impressed that they had a double stack of Remington .222s and another stack of Federals for that cartridge.
Upon careful study, I found 2 lonely boxes of .260 Rem.
I have no doubt that cartridges like the creedmoor and the grendel will continue to draw a percentage of aficionados.
I stand by my 2 1/2 year old prediction above that the 6.5 will never see a hey-day in America.
Loonies will no doubt find it to be desirable and useful. Debates will continue as to it's effectiveness vs other cartridges.
The new year will have 52 weeks, just like the year past...
I still covet Redneck's 6.5 stainless featherweight...
