[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 906849, member: 30902"] They certainly have great engineers, ballisticians, and gun makers working for them so I have little doubt they know the advantages and disadvantages to their proprietary cartridge. Those of us who shoot big open wheat fields or hunt the plains for antelope and mule deer can see the value in a 6.5mm capable of these velocities provided there is good accuracy. I think while there may be some desire to get into the LR market with their own round, the greater commercial value is to the average hunter in the est who just wants an accurate flat shooter or 400yds and closer. This ought to be an absolute monster for those applications and for taking coyotes on the run where velocity makes a huge difference. We have to keep in mind that those of us who shoot beyond that range are a very tiny fraction of the market. Personally I'm pretty pumped about the possibilities this round offers as it's virtually identical to the 6.5 STW performance wise but it will have much more affordable and readily available brass along with factory ammo that is readily accessible, dependable, and accurate. I shoot a lot of Nosler ammo just so that I can have their brass to reload and I always get very good performance out of it. [/QUOTE]
