[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1530691, member: 10291"] I like the 6.5CM having used it when I began shooting PRS, but I personally don’t believe it to be the Holy Grail considering the host of other good 6.5’s in its capacity range. I quickly switched to the 6.5x47 Lapua for competition, and never adopted the 6.5CM for my LR hunting, preferring the larger 6.5 cases at higher velocities. The 6.5CM’s initial intent and positioning was targeted at the PRS competitor. It’s rapid success in this sport was one of the primary drivers behind its growth and revenues. Interestingly, the trend in the PRS circles has done a complete reversal compared to just a couple of years ago.... with the 6mm’s being quickly adopted in preference to the 6.5....90% to 10%! The last survey had the caliber preferences flipped, with the 6,5CM in a strong position. While I think the 6.5CM is now well established, it will be interesting to observe the impact of this shift on its rapid growth curve.
