    It doesn't perform any better than a 260 or 6.5x55, what it offers is the same or similar performance slightly more efficiently, but fitting comfortably in a small action. The biggest advantage is...

    In its defence, it IS a very accurate round. Nobody seems to have issues with it doing well under MOA goups. Look up how it came about, interesting story. On most actions it is easy to "load them...

    All the 6.5 calls work, so I will stick with the swede, as for lacking penetration pass throughs on sambar make them more than adequate. The swede is more accurate than I am which is nice, mild to...

    Exactly. Marketing. Good selection of rifles and accurate off the shelf ammo. With PRS style shooting becoming more and more popular, the availability of bulk accurate factory ammo at a good price...

    Don't see what all the fuss is about. Hit 'em right, they fall down dead. Nothing wrong with a 260AI (I don't have one). I'll neck down all the 308 brass I've got, and get a barrel in 6.5,...

    Im quite happy with my 6.5x55s performance the sl longer cartridge doesn't worry me at all. It would be interesting to see side by side performance and accuracy figures for the 2. A 22 inch barrel...

    Not in my experience, I shoot both .308win, 6.5 Creedmore and 6.5x47 Lapua on game and can say confidently that the 6.5s have performed better on deer and goats on all accounts. Projectile choice...
