[QUOTE="LeddSlinger, post: 1476304, member: 65338"] On another note, the 6.5 Remington Magnum was one of the first "short magnums" ever designed. It never took off that as it was only offered in Remington 660 Tomahawk rifles with 20" barrels. The short barrel never let the world know the true potential of the round leaving it to forever dwell in the shadow of the 264 Win Mag. Then came the 7mm Remington Magnum and that was the end for 6.5mm rounds in the US for a long time. Today with custom barrel offerings and excellent handloading components, the world has come back around to enjoying the 6.5mm catridges for all types of hunting and target shooting. Of course Europeans have always used the 6.5mm rounds, but being Americans, if we didn't design it, we don't like it ;) [/QUOTE]
