[QUOTE="DartonJager, post: 2207609, member: 95733"] I don't hate ANY cartridge, caliber or platform. I just feel it's less than prudent that people were dumping their 308 and 243 WIN's for the 6.5cm. If you are a serious or trying to become a serious PR or LR compeditore and you own a 308 or hevior recoiling round and recoil is a very real consideration for you then th 6.5cm might be worth your consideration. But you have to admire Hornady's marketing savvy. I could very well be wrong and anyone feel free to correct me, and I might be forgetting a caliber or two, but I just don't recall any other cartridge in my life time that has made not just such a huge success as the 6.5cm has as more than a few have, but how many remained as popular as long as the 6.5cm has. I mean what other caliber does anyone know of that literally made a specific powder essentially unavailable for months on end like the 6.5cm did to H4350. If I were to pick a rifle caliber for the recoil adverse based on less recoil than my 308Win I would likely recommend the 7mm/08 or if really recoil shy the 243. I shot both and recoil was benign.
