[QUOTE="436, post: 1618686, member: 16609"] jpope02 I very much agree; the 6.5mm Rem Mag has been a cartridge overlooked by many especially in the older days when the 6.5mm caliber didn't have the following it does now. Now we have better bullets and folks understand the potential of the 6.5mm caliber. With that said, it's still an amazing cartridge in 6.5mm caliber and especially for hander's looking for all-out performances in a strong short magnum style case... I'd say; in the 6.5mm calibers, I've shot over the years the ballistic twin would have to be the 6.5 RSAUM from the 7mm RSAUM case. When the 6.5 Remington Mag first came out it was always in the shadow of the .264 Win Mag, while the whole time getting none of the 6.5mm accolades and all of the negativity based on the .264 Win Mag, too bad. Perhaps someday Remington will bring it back in the old M-700 24" BDL style rifle, and if they were smart they'd do it today! I do see brass come up for sale on special runs now and then, it actually gave good brass life as I recall. [/QUOTE]
