The Long-Suffering 6.5
Quote:
No 6.5mm cartridge, whether European or American, has done particularly well over here.
The longest-lived 6.5mm cartridge in America is the 6.5x55 Swedish Mauser.
It has never burned up the world, but at least it manages to hang on with a small but loyal following.

David Tubb and Hornady with the 6.5 Creedmoor have done much to advance the notion of usefulness
and popularity of the .264 in America.

Quote:
It looks like Hornady has the right mind-set to make its new cartridge a success in the competitive
and practical market, unlike Remington who basically let the .260 languish in a few hunting rifles.
