I like the looks of this cartridge ! I think it will perform GREAT ! - I have a M700 30-06 sitting in a safe - Perfect rifle to rebarrel into a 6.5 RPM - Who else LIKING this New cartridge ?
RJ

if/when Weatherby makes a left hand 6 lug Back Country MkV I will buy one in 6.5 RPM
A Ballistic SUPER Genius like you should have on for Sure !Please share some REAL load data using the new 6.5 mm 156 Grain Extreme Outer Limits (EOL) Elite Hunter if you could Please Sir ! That is the Bullet i would be Hoping and Wanting to Shoot in my new RPM build . Thxs
RJ
It's a twin ballistic to the 264 Win. Mag. There really is nothing to see with this new cartridge, on the other-hand, their 6.5-300 Wby. is something to behold.
NO !I'm WAY to POOR to have QL .

6.5 saum, prs, now rpm, where will it end, I drank the saum koolaid and no regrets, this at sub 5lbs is a crazy light for a magnum so I wouldn't feel bad about dropping a 30oz scope on it and packing it around
With all resurgent interest in 6.5s. Isn't it time for Remington to introduce a new loading that they can incompetently market..... again?

Only if it's introduced with a wacky rifle that nobody wants.
