[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2200896, member: 10755"] But is it....really? Lots of other cartridges are BETTER with better ballistics. I just don’t get it. Have sat next to a guy at the bench who had a cheap gun and optics, toting that out of the box it was hands down the best package you could buy. His groups at 100 were woeful, my 6.5x47 Lapua ran rings around it and it was not even tuned ammo. Was testing seating depth with a middle load. Anyway, I am not convinced and have never read into marketing hype. When Winchester brought out the WSM, overnight the advertised velocity on boxes of 300WM miraculously reduced from 3030fps for 180g PP ammo down to 2900fps, just so that the 300WSM looked better! Marketing is just that...hype. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
