Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles Calibers that should die

No sir, it doesn't need to die, it's a good cartridge, has been marketed exceedingly well and has the added benefit of the most precise dimensions that modern machine work can provide and pretty impressive factory support in ammo. Put that same effort into any of a dozen pre-existing 6.5's and you get the same results, it isn't magic. Any ammo/firearms maker could have done it and probably at least thousands of individuals around the world have done so. The 6.5 CM is almost as good as some that pre-date it by 120 years and don't forget, the Europeans had that same 120 year head start on us reference the 6.5 caliber.. The old saying, "ignorance is bliss", has never been more evident than by those who regale the 6.5 Creedmoor with magical properties it does not have.
