[QUOTE="timmymic, post: 1535075, member: 54603"] These comments always make me wonder... how is this not being as close minded as the side that wants a new 6.5? Looking at the max load with retumbo the 6.5 prc and the 264 win mag are within 75 FPS of each other. By the time you find a load that shoots well in each they could be closer yet. So why be close minded one way or the other... if you like the new one then shoot the new one if you like the old shoot the old but to shame people into the old because you don’t want to move to a new cartridge seems silly. Switching to one do the modern cartridges is going to give the guy that’s not building a custom rifle more options and can get new shooters in the door. I don’t think we should be shooting down these new cartridges for the sake of being “old school.” [/QUOTE]
