[QUOTE="tooth doc, post: 2590782, member: 52018"] yeah, some do. i love my 6.5 cm, but many ignore the 260 lime the 6.5 is superior. its area of superiority is not ballistics, it is relatively inexpensive , match quality ammo (at least when it was introduced ) that allowed/allows non reloaders to buy a good rifle, relatively inexpensive like a ruger 6.5. and go shoot long range and be competitive. my beef is thos who then extrapolate to the hunting arena and belive that because it is a wonderful thousand yard comp gun it is also a capable/ethical or even ideal thousand yard hunting round for big game. at the same time dismissing the 260. dont get me wrong, most people on the forum know this. not arguing for one or the other, i own more than one of each. but. there are still thos who believe the 6.5 cm or even the grendel are gr8 long range big game guns. depends on their definition of LR. i think the 6.5 in all iterations is a gr8 hunting round, if using good bullets. making accurate shots and being realistic about the inherent limits of each cartridge. long live 6.5's!
