[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1530969, member: 52437"] Everyone bagging on new cartridges...why? It's like bagging on new guns. More options are always great and if it gets people shooting and spending money in the gun sport industry then why not?!?!?!?! The only negative is when a cartridge does not take off and you are hard pressed to find factory ammo or brass. I have always wanted a 6.5 cartridge (specifically a 260 rem) but was scared off by the lack of factory ammo, lack of factory rifle (especially ones with a good twist for heavier bullets). Is the 6.5cm better than the 260 nope, likely even a touch worse as far as performance goes BUT rifle availability is way up for the 6.5cm and so is ammo availability compared to other 6.5 cartridges with similar performance so for this reason I am rebarreling a rifle into 6.5CM. Much easier to sell off a 6.5cm than a 260 in my neck of the woods and it is obvious the 6.5cm is here to stay. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
