[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1779185, member: 14204"] IMHO, .264/6.5MM is not the new king, as they have been around for a while. I have Carl Gustaf in 6.5x55 Swede and it has been around (designed in 1891) longer than our venerable .30-06 (designed 1906). The resurgence (renewed interest, esp. to new hunter/shooter) of .264/6.5MM, can be accredited to Hornaday's success with the 6.5 CM. Their success was not an overnight sensation as it took them ~ a decade before they got to where they are today. Their successful marketing strategy and execution, and collaborative efforts/partnership and support with other rifle/shooting industries is exemplary and envy to their competitors. In the end, it's all about personal choice and preference. I also have a 6.5 CM and .264 WM with 26" 1:7" primarily to propel the 156 Bergers (awaiting headspacing). [/QUOTE]
