[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1488435, member: 12995"] Oh really??? [URL]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/6.5-284_Norma[/URL] So, why can't they make 6.5x284 ammo again? And the answer is no they should not load it 2.8", they should load it for long action rifles. The weight difference in a LA and SA is barely noticeable except only to the most anal-retentive sticklers hunting for a certain weight rifle. As for your justification, most serious hunters and shooters reload their own ammo and don't ever buy factory ammo to begin with... So, your argument falls on mostly deaf ears, other than those who don't reload. And no, nobody can go buy a box of ammo and a rifle over the counter and go shoot at 1000 yards. That is why I call it marketing HYPE! It's not realistic. They make you THINK it is, so you'll buy into their ********, and buy their products, but it's not. And as for bringing long range shooting to the masses, I've met thousands of your average shooter and hunter, and IMO, most shouldn't even be allowed in the woods with a rifle, much less trying to wound animals or shoot steel at 1,000 yards. Most can't accurately shoot over 100...And believe that if you can get all 3 inside a pie plate, that their rifle is "on" for hunting season. Scary, huh? This pandora's box is about as bad as if you let a bunch of Jerry's Kids run the large hadron collider at CERN... The results will only be detrimental to our sport and our cause. [/QUOTE]
