A lot of folks got caught up on the short mag wave 10 -15 yrs ago realized that their old 270 or 30-06 will really do just as well for the type of hunting they do so a lot of those WSMs went down the road. In fact many of the current new offerings are on the opposite end of magnums being smaller and a bit slower but more fun to shoot and efficient. The 6.5CM is a perfect example of this.

I think as hunters age, they start to drift away from big magnums with the cost and recoil. 10 yrs ago I took a 375magnum on a guided moose hunt. Last year it was a 275Rigby. That little 7mm worked fine.
