6.5 the newly discovered wonder round! Except for the fact that it’s been around along time. I was shooting a 6.5-284 back in the early 70’s, not to mention how long the 264 Win Mag has been around. I’m sorry but you and your constant links to one of the dumbest firearms sites on the internet needs to be reviewed by the admins of FR. You promote a junk site!
A friend bought a .264 WinMag. Came with a set of dies. I occasionally prod him that he might wanna buy a shell holder for those dies. Oh, and some magnum primers. And, hey, just for laughs, maybe some bullets.
The only “new” thing about a couple of these cartridges is that they are “short action” rounds.
If you look at the case dimensions, the 6.5 Creedmoor is essentially the .250 Savage Improved, necked up a whopping 0.007 inches - in other words, a very slightly modified version of something that's been around since FDR was poresident. The 6.5 Creedmoor is a fine cartridge (as is the .250 Savage ;^), but it's the "new hotness" mostly because of marketing, and VLD bullets...
