[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 908388, member: 12443"] as yogi would say "its dejavu all over again". roll the clock back a few years like 50 and guess what the most popular long range cartridge was? if you guessed 6.5x300 weatherby you would win a prize. it was and still is a very good cartridge for those wanting a big 6.5. but then along came better bullets for other calibers and the 6.5 was forgotten. a few years ago i decided to build a 6.5 short mag because i never owned a 6.5x300 weatherby. an 8 twist 26" brux barrel gave me 3350 with a 140 berger. whats not to like about that? well nothing i guess, except my 7x300 weatherby gives me that much with a 162 hornady. so will an stw, and a 7 ultra will give a little more. if my memory serves me correctly thats the reason the 6.5 lost its popularity 40 years ago. i think yogi was right. probably about alot of things.
