[QUOTE="catch 22, post: 1354999, member: 91054"] All of the "new" calibers in the last 80-100 years still can't do anymore than the "old" warhorses (6.5×55, 7mm Mauser, 30-06, 270, 300&375H&H, 256 Newton and his 250-3000 Savage) especially when handloaded in modern firearms (may as well throw the 45 Colt, 9mm, and 45acp in with them). I've been loading 6.5×55 for about 40 years now, in a modern firearm (Ruger #1/Howa 1500) I can match 270 factory ammo. Oh, and the 6.5-06 is no more than a copy of the 256 Newton from the 1920's [/QUOTE]
