[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2786358, member: 109862"] Same thing that happened to the .264 win mag when remingtons “big 7” rolled out. And the reason the 6.5-300 wby is never going to compete with any of the ultra 7mm cartridges for sales or ability. Only Nosler did it to their own cartridge with their 28 haha. The 6.5s shine in efficient to moderate magnum cartridges that don’t have much recoil or blast and perform well above their pay grade in the field. Once you get into true magnum case capacity anything they can do a 7mm on the same case can do better and honestly while the recoil might be a tad more the blast on these overbore cartridges is more bothersome than the kick. I don’t find 6.5s or 7mms really have that much recoil either way. There are literally no cons and many pros to going 7mm at that case capacity. The same does not hold true going up again - and I’m a die hard .30 caliber fan, and don’t own a 7mm of any kind at the moment so you know I’m not biased in its favour - but there are some things the big 7mms do better than the big 30s. But honestly, I even did a poll pitting the 7 and the 30 cal against each other…doesn’t matter which you choose, those two are the kings of all purpose all range all non dangerous game magnum cartridges out of easy to carry in the field rifles with acceptable shootable recoil. The monster 6.5s aren’t efficient, burn out barrels faster, have just as much blast and nearly as much recoil, and inferior performance to the big 7s and 30 mags. Just my opinion but it’s not an opinion out of thin air. [/QUOTE]
