[QUOTE="436, post: 2767426, member: 16609"] The 6.5 Remington Mag was "way" ahead of its times, I used one in a Remington M700 BDL when they first came out in that model in the late 60s/70s as I recall, it was an amazing combination and deadly accurate. I think due to all the misinformation at the time around the .264 Win Mag, some of that 6.5mm hate splashed over on the 6.5 Rem Mag which as we look back can see both were unwarranted negativity. I still wish Remington had put more of them out in the BDL I sold mine and regretted it right after I sold it. Today many of the people that talk about 6.5mm short mags type performance cartridges have no conception Remington did it first and got it right... it's "still" a great cartridge as an around cartridge for hunting and LR targets shooting. With today's bullet and powder... wow! we need the brass and perhaps a few rifles. Just my 0.2 Cheers. [/QUOTE]
