[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1901988, member: 93138"] I must admit to a little amusement and a little chagrin over the 6.5mm bore. I've mentioned this before, my former boss, Mike Harms (RIP), told me sometime in the late 1980's that the 6.5's were grossly over-looked and that they would eventually be "discovered". He thought that the .264 WM was decades ahead of it's time and that it and 6.5's on the whole would see a resurgence in popularity. He felt that the the typically heavy for caliber 6.5 bullets would result in superior ballistics once there was interest on the part of bullet makers in making high BC 6.5mm projectiles. Unfortunately he did not live to see his prediction come true. I learned a lot from Mike, much more than I appreciated at the time. Where ever he is, I hope that he can see me appreciating it now. I own a 6.5CM, have for almost a year. I still need to actually shoot it and get the barrel broken in. The PRC does nothing that I need, or even want in spite of no need. So I'd have waited for the CM had the PRC come first. [/QUOTE]
