[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1473680, member: 12995"] No, I said the 6.5CM was a trend. It still is...Albeit a popular one. Up until 10 years ago, nobody (except competition shooters) in the USA really wanted anything to do with a 6.5mm. Same with 7mm up until 1962 when Remington made the 7mm RemMag for their brand new Model 700 rifle, and the combo became an instant hit amongst big game hunters. And the 8mm was always treated as a bastard caliber, that's why the 8mm RemMag and .325 WSM both sort of failed to launch, despite both being exceptional big game cartridges. The only thing they were really lacking was high BC bullet options for LR shooting/hunting. [/QUOTE]
