[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1550693, member: 52437"] I was just at my local sporting goods store (not gun shop) and the amount of factory ammo available for the 6.5cm was just crazy. Love or hate Hornady, they certainly do it right when introducing a new caliber. The OP is looking at the 6.5cm wrong. The fact is it does a lot of things decent while the two he listed do not. It has low recoil for the youth, female, and small framed shooter market. It was designed for heavier bullets so rifles came out with the right twist for long range shooting. MANY companies offer rifles in 6.5cm in multiple models. And lastly, the factory ammo available for it are crazy. At the field and stream I was at there were two options for 6.5x284, there were 4 options for the 25-06 and there were literally like 15+ different options for the 6.5cm. I know I sold rifles due to the lack of shelf ammo (7mmWSM). I avoided the 6.5cm last year and purchased a 7mm08, but this year caved and got the 6.5cm as well and glad I did. It is here to stay.
