[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1461412, member: 30902"] Personally while I think it's an adequate cartridge it doesn't really serve any real purpose in that it doesn't offer any real improvements over longer established 6.5's. It will likely develop a small cult following particularly among competition shooters for a few years but if you want a 6.5 the 6.5 Lapua,6.5CM, 260 Rem, 6.5x55, or the venerable .264wm will all do whatever you want to do with a hunting rifle. I've been shooting the .260 Rem and .264wm for quite a while and I wouldn't be afraid to shoot any N. American game with them with perhaps the exception of a big Grizz or Brown Bear in AK. If you just want something really off the wall in a 6.5 The 6.5LRM or 6.5x375 Ruger is a lot of fun and offer a substantial improvement in velocity without the punishing recoil and blast of the 26 Nosler.
