[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1530493, member: 54178"] [B]nmbarta,[/B] OK, we get it, you "hate" the 6.5 CM cartridge. BUT... it was not developed with hunting in mind. It was developed for TARGET shooting. And it is wildly successful in that realm. I shoot it in my Ruger Precision Rifle for competitions as do many other competitors. It's big in PRS for lower recoil and flatter trajectory than the .308. Then hunters discovered its flat shooting capabilities and that is what gave it even more impetus. So what's "wrong" with the .260 Rem.? Well it does not have the proper neck length to handle longer low drag bullets without compressing the powder load. But hey, "Haters gotta hate." and a cartridge is not a bad thing to hate as no harm is done. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
