[QUOTE="Quintus, post: 2089341, member: 67552"] The timing is just about perfect to flop this cartridge. While the only bullets I see in shops around here are 170 Bergers and 150 ABLR in .277, I don't know too many folks ready to burn powder and primers they can't replace on a new cartridge that replicates what they already have. Now throw in the fact that it took 60 years for North America to discover the 6.5, 40 more years to get over the fact that our imperial enemy shot it at us all across the pacific, I'd say by 2050 we might be ready to look into a 6.8 something. Throw in the fact that most folks have discovered they can't find a place to shoot more than 300 yards anyway and their 6.5 Creed is perfect for that. Maybe if they had beat the 6.5PRC to release they may have had a shot with this. Day late and a dollar short, just put it over there with the WSSMs. [/QUOTE]
