It can result in ammo diversity loss, part of the playbook.

Jeff Bezos never heard of the 6.5 CM, he designs his rockets like a big, giant dhyck!... I mean, a 45-70.

I have quite the collection of 6.5 caliber rifles CM,260, 260AI, 6.5X55, 6.5-06, 6.5WSM, 264WM, 6.5RUM, and the 6.5X55 is the one I would give up last with the RUM a close second.
RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.

I like it because you can get Lapua Brass for under a buck a piece, that and 55gr of powder in a short action. I load way over pressure and it never says Boo. my go to load are those Sierra 107s which are light but still have a decent BC with a comppressed load of RL17 which is good 3500FPS.

Well I for one would hesitate to put a rifle shooting 6.5cm diameter projectiles to my shoulder even if I could lift it... (Note: one inch = 2.54 cm).

I am pretty confident that in this conversation CM refers to Creedmoor oppose to Centimeter

Wife gifted me a Fieldcraft in 6.5 CM when graduating from USASMA. Incredibly consistent and great to hunt with. Definitely a favorite. A gay friend told me years ago that biggest gay hater’s were always wanting to hook up the second they left town. Just to put it out there….

I think it’s like how High Noon and Sandbilly put it. It’s not the round, nothing wrong at all with it, quite the opposite; it’s The Following.
I won’t get into all that shcitt. Anything can have a stupid as [bleep] fan-base. Guys start getting old, start hating on the new shchitt. Like their old Schitt that worked just as well. I understand. I am
Becoming same, as I age.
But, I won’t buy one. And I don’t care if I’m missing out on something, because as far as I know I am
Not. Other more obscure and even ‘obsolete’
Cartridges Interest me more. And, my rifle/hunting mentor quickly chastised me for even asking him about it and said “we don’t discuss the 6.5 CM, you and I”.
I respect my elders and that was that.
Enjoy yours.
