[QUOTE="436, post: 2412138, member: 16609"] The .264 Win Mag was and is still a great cartridge, actually even better these days with all the new goodies for the 6.5 calibers. As for the others in the short magnum class that is mentioned, let's not forget that Remington was far ahead of the curve with the 6.5 Remington Mag... and I might add, a spectacular cartridge in a 24" inch plus barrel, of course, their mistake was bringing it out originally in a carbine version. I had a Remington 700 BDL in 6.5 Remington Mag just after it came out in the late 60's unbelievable accurate rifle for a game rifle. I think today the 6.5 Remington Mag could hold its own in the hunting and LR field with the best of them, we just need some good brass, [B]"hear that Remington"[/B] I sold that Mod-700 and have regretted it ever since, but I digress... the other 6.5 cartridges are proven winners as 6.5's as the 6.5's goes, but... it's not a new idea, just new marketing.
