[QUOTE="Treeslug, post: 1995188, member: 115704"] Jfloyd--Did you not see any humor in my post. As stated, I have known about the 6.5 for many moons. It just seems to me that the cartridge(s) and bullet have taken over as the do-all round for everything from itty-bitty field mice to Alaskan moose. I am not dumping on the round, just amazed at how quickly it has become so popular. Wish I had thought of all the possibilities and built my own version of the 6.5. I understand all the reasons and more for the popularity of a flat, fast little bullet with little recoil, and I also know, first hand, that my old 6.5 jap was never going to hit a freight train at 1,000 meters. For the record, I am a left-handed shooter, and I shoot a Remington 700 BDL in 7mm magnum and I have reloaded every bullet that has EVER been fired through that rifle. I would have bought a larger caliber, but back when I bought this rifle, 7 mm mag was the largest caliber Remington offered in left-hand. I feel discriminated against.
