[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2322333, member: 115658"] Two different worlds ..... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/28138/u-s-special-operators-will-soon-be-using-this-6-5mm-assault-machine-gun[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://soldiersystems.net/2018/03/23/ussocom-adopts-6-5-cm/[/URL] and each years hunting season opening day. The real expected and the nice but limited. Smashing terminal performance is not the only criteria for popularity as shown by ammo and rifle sales. I & many others prioritize: ballistic efficiency, low cost, ease of use, availability of components and suitability for realistic performance expectations. This is reflected by Hornady's and others (good business practice) high production of 6.5CM ammunition & components. 1,100 yards is far enough for me. No - I don't own or plan to get a machine gun or a M94 .30-.30. My new 6.5 CM will be in use next month & I have been systematically acquiring 300-500 pieces of 1X fired brass. Imagine - a bucket of once fired, real good LC 6.5 Creedmore brass to supply shooting needs with several rifle barrels available for self installation. Have not experienced this, .30-.30's have been carried by prison guards gazing down at inmates pumping iron, doing pull-ups or shooting baskets - 8th amendment, barring "cruel & unusual punishment" - denial of recreation; these .30-.30's have probably been replaced by 5.56/.223 (popular military caliber) in Ruger Mini 14's or such. Edit: the M60 machine gun, designed in 1957 is still being used along with the 7.62 cartridge- 64 years. Should the MK 48, Mod 2, in 6.5 CM be around that long the 6.5 CM cartridge will be use for 64 more years. [/QUOTE]
