[QUOTE="Beardeddeer91, post: 1775503, member: 105926"] To address the OPs question IMO the reason 6.5 CM is so much more popular is because of the support behind the cartridge (as several others have stated). When you have most major gun manufacturers producing fast twist barreled rifles combined with a ton of cheap high quality factory ammo in favor of the 6.5 CM then it’s no wonder why it’s taken over. I also don’t think it’s a “fad” anymore, especially now with the military adopting the cartridge and with all the the factory options for the civilian market. It’s here to stay and will continue to thrive over the 260 Rem in the mainstream market. While a lot of us on this forum reload and can push a cartridge to its full potential we also have to keep in mind that the large majority of shooters/hunters don’t reload, so they aren’t going to see the full capabilities of the 260 compared to the 6.5 CM. Because of that industry support alone will continue to carry the CM well over the 260 in popularity. [/QUOTE]
