[QUOTE="Lou270, post: 2670877, member: 5352"] Not sure how much that matters. In fhe 90s, probably more custom 280s than anything. The gun writers of the day tried hard to revive it. Early 2000s - RUMs and WSMs. 6.5 cm in the 2010s. Maybe prc and 6.8w now. I would guess 270/30-06 still get some all along the way as bright and shiny come and go while still selling steady in the used / low end market. 6.5 cm will fall in the 270/06 bucket soon. Heck, I bet at this point 223/ 308w outsells next closest 2 or 3 to 1. If you wanna bet on what is big 10 some years from now - my money is on 277 sig fury and some variants (ie 6.5 or 300 fury). It will take time for innovation to catch up to 80kpsi, but it is a military round so will catch on big eventually. think about it… 20 years ago were we looking at sub moa cheap guns, cheap laser range finders, super high bc factory loads, 1000 yards out of the box, etc.. We may be scratching our heads why PRC are not 80k psi rounds that feed in ar10 like some folks scratch their heads now on why WSM were not fast twist to begin with Lou [/QUOTE]
