I think it was a combo of the lack of familiarity with 6.5, available bullets and powder of that era.

Maybe how Winchester rolled it out and marketed it.

When the 264 win rolled out the gun writers of the day bashed as a barrel burn and never touted its true attributes.

I’m old enough to remember that.

The .264 WM was cutting edge and as in the business world, cutting edge can become “bleeding edge”.
