Laughing! That is it man! That’s it that’s all!

You seemed to have missed something, Chuck... I am not promoting the 6.5 Rem Mag cartridge... I am also not suggesting that anyone build a rifle chambered for 6.5 Rem Mag... I am saying that "I" like the cartridge and "I" am building a rifle so chambered... also, I really don't care if you can find 500 brass (although I just showed you where they are), I am saying that "I" already have 500 6.5 RM brass... and a donor rifle... so I am all set for "my" project... go build a PRC.
 
Hard to say an obsolete cartridge is the best

It is the best....so good that Hornady made a new case to duplicate capacity and velocity which made you fork over $$$.
They are marketing and branding geniuses...taking something that already exists and making people believe it's different because it's "new".

They're not dumb that's for sure.
 
I was wondering where you were... ;)

Probably the most uncalled for time out in the history of CGN...but didn't really miss much I see, same few parroting Hornady promotional materials verbatim anytime a 6.5 thread is started :)
I wonder what kind of reaction one would get saying "Weatherby... nothing shoots flatter or hits harder" over and over and over and over.
Actually we all know how well that would be received.
 
No, not in equal barrel lengths, loaded to the same pressures. Let's talk reality

There are a couple dozen people on here I take at face value. I don’t think anyone has shot more game (well, can be certain) than Dogleg on this forum, he risks getting into five figures of kills. I don’t think anyone here has seen more bears killed than Hoyt, hundreds and hundreds and in the last couple seasons got into Grizzlies too. And I don’t think anyone has chrono’d or radar’d a wider variety of chamberings and loads than you. I’ll take your word on the .264 / 6.5 PRC / Rem / -284 split.
 
I have a spare 6.5x55 Shultz & Larsen 27" heavy target barrel off a 98 that is near new...and a few too many 30'06 98's.
I was debating 264win, 6.5-284...now the 6.5RM is making me lean that way...turn the barrel to something more carry friendly, nice long range boomer.
I hate these decisions lol.

I’m jealous of the cartridge? Do you have any clue how many different cartridges, including wildcats, that I have owned. I’m more about having people avoid dumb decisions.
By the way, you still haven’t answered my last question.
