[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 1955654, member: 113268"] These conversations seem to be for the elitist hunter/shooter but then again this is a long range hunting forum so I guess it makes sense. As an average big game hunter in the United States, I think the whole idea that some new cartridge is going to cause other cartridges to disappear is silly. Didn't they say that the win mag would disappear when the wsm came out or how about when the rcm came out or the rum? The only cartridges to disappear were never popular to begin with unless you want to talk about the old straight walled black powder cartridges. New cartridges will never have the popularity of the old cartridges until you can find them available on the shelves of all wally worlds for the same price as the old cartridges not to mention the low end rifles that are sold at wally world need to come in those calibers. So far, it seems the 6.5cm is the only one that meets those requirements and I doubt its going to cause any of the old standards to disappear because there are millions of rifles out there in those calibers and people are still buying them. Your average hunter isn't going to spend $1500 or more on a rifle and scope not to mention having to mail order cartridges for $3 or more a round if they aren't an avid reloader and reloading these things aren't that cheap either.
