[QUOTE="BallisticsGuy, post: 1593914, member: 96226"] See, this is the problem with pride mixing with braggadocio. People just can't get beyond theirs and look dispassionately at facts. Just because you managed to kill a bunch of stuff with a 6.5-284 doesn't stop it lacking efficiency. If that were the case I could tell you about a couple train car loads of dead stuff that all fell to a .22lr and it would be a valid refuting argument. Inefficiency was my point which has not been refuted. Anyway, 6.5-284 is nothing but a rehash of cartridge capabilities that had existed for decades already. Before 6.5 Grendel there was 6.5BR. Before .260rem there was 6.5-08 Asquare and before that there was the .263 Express. Before 6.5-284 there was 6.5-06 Asquare. Before there were any of those the entire world outside the USA had been quite fond of 6.5x55 and 6.5x54 as well as numerous others. 6.5 didn't get popular. Long range shooting did. [/QUOTE]
