[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1502929, member: 74902"] I think the 6.5 Rem Mag is pretty much dead. Looks like Remington doesn't even chamber a rifle for it now. It was kinda plagued by some of the same issues as the 264 Win Mag. One of them was twist. The SAAMI twist for the 6.5 rem mag was only a 9 twist so it wasn't a good match for the 140 gr bullets that became so popular. Would probably make a great custom though with a 8 twist but I think brass would be hard to find (reliably anyways). These days there are just better choices like 6.5x284 with Lapua brass. [/QUOTE]
