[QUOTE="Deleted member 115360, post: 2085082"] Nice sir. I read an article about it several years ago, and I thought they had actually launched it under another name, but my memory can't be trusted too much these days. It was shocking to me to discover that ol Roy was all over this 6.5 stuff decades ago, but like almost everything he created, he was too far ahead of his time to be truly appreciated. The best ballistic engineers we have are still trying to compete with him. I remember when the 338 lapua became really popular, and I was in the Army and amazed by this new cartridge that could do things no cartridge before it could ever imagine..... until I did the research and realized that the 340 Weatherby that Roy built in the 50's was within 1% of the new magic cartridge.
