Was the 6.5 cm really a necessity?

I have an XP100 R that I bought new back in the 90s. It's chambered in 260rem. It's crazy how accurate it is. I used to shoot it often but ammo started getting harder to find. I'm about to buy a bunch of new 260 brass that I found online at a really good price. I really like the 260 and I never could figure out why everyone else didn't like it. I have a friend with an AR10 in 260. He says ringing steel at 1000 yards get boring with it. I have another friend who hunts with a bolt gun chambered in 260. He claim he's yet to have a deer not drop with it. The 260 is an excellent cartridge. It just doesn't seem to have a very big following.

I would recommend buying the Lapua brass. They've been making .260 Rem brass for several years. Much better than the other brands.

Welcome to the matrix. In my hand I have 2 pills. The red pill will open your mind to all that is rifles, cartridges, bullets, ballistics, custom parts, and wildcats... The blue pill will send you back into the world you previously knew of factory ammunition and factory rifles, and you will wake up with no recollection of this conversation.

Would you like the red pill...Or the blue pill?

Well, now isn't that a silly question.............:D;)
 
nothing is nessasary. one all round callibre is all you need. for me that is 7mmRM. and maybe a varmit cal but lm not in to varmit hunting.
 
Now that I've finally been shooting my 6.5 at 800,900,and 1k, it's ridiculously easy caliber to load for and shoot...I like my 308 and 257wby for deer guns, but by next year I'll be taking the 6.5. When I make first round shots in the wind there is no denying it's advantages

Is the 6.5 x 284 really a great long range cartridge?
