You guys are killing me with this 6.5 Cr stuff.. haha. I was an early adapter and went with the 260 Rem in my long range rifle. Love it to death, it'll do all I need it to ballistically. But then 6.5 Cr came along and that's what's on the shelf. I reload, it isn't a really big deal I guess.

It should have been 260 Rem that became popular but Remington insisted on marketing it as a hunting cartridge... which makes sense because there are so few hunting rounds on the market, right? (Don't miss my sarcasm...). A lot of long range guys picked up on it and they still didn't get the memo - 300 WM ballistics with significantly less recoil? Nah.. no one will want that! (again, don't miss my sarcasm). No wonder they are filing for bankruptcy.. But I digress.

Blur, you'll love the round.. they really are good enough to justify all the press they get!
