[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1821077, member: 93895"] Would like to hear your thoughts on what direction you think the next trend for caliber size & cartridge will go. I don't want to start this thread for bashing the 6.5 creedmoor but since it's the latest most popular caliber for new rifle sales among average shooters & hunters, what are predictions for another caliber & cartridge to come that will have as much commerical success as the 6.5 creedmoor? I realize the 6.5cm is here to stay and may take years for something of this commercial popularity to come back around. I know that the 6.5 does have its limitations. Key points for it's success with the average hunter/shooter: #1 Most of the time accuracy in many factory rifles with factory ammo is good. #2 low recoil which is acceptable for all hunters: Elderly, youth, females, etc... #3 affordable ammunition #4 many economy priced rifles chambered in 6.5cm #5 6.5 projectiles high BC( wind bucking capability & efficientcy) #6 suitable for most commonly hunted medium sized game. Again I state that this is not a thread for if you like or dislike the 6.5 creedmoor but I'm just using it for a basis of what would bring as much commercial success to a different caliber/ cartridge. I don't want this to turn into 40 pages of bashing or defending the 6.5 creedmoor till death due you part because those post have been done many times and the dead horse has been beat many times over. Thank you [/QUOTE]
