Goodbye 6.5 Needmore-😎

Well.... just think what 'COULD' be possible....

IF the new steel alloy case is reloadable multiple times and holds up... getting 80k PSI out of traditional cartridges would be insane.

I could see getting 3000 fps from the 168s in .308 with a 16in bbl....

Too early to say... but could be revolutionary... or could be a very expensive pipe bomb 😀
 
A solution looking for a problem.

It won't replace the Creedmoor simply due to the cost barrier and people's lack of access to ammo/components for it. Let alone, recoil isn't fun. DOA

The 6.5cm haters are the male versions of Whoopi Goldberg and her cohorts on The View. Where Whoopi and those morons allow President Trump to live rent free in their heads 24/7/365, the 6.5cm crybabies allow a rifle cartridge to live rent free in their heads 24/7/365. It doesn't affect my life 1 iota what someone else chooses to shoot.
 
After watching a few videos and reading some info on this new cartridge I am actually pretty excited. Not so much in this specific cartridge, but in the direction we may be going in new cartridge design. IF (thats a big IF) there is a movement toward shorter barrel designs that velocities equate to the longer barrel version of it then Im all about that. Granted I hunt suppressed, but man I would be ALL ABOUT the ability to run a 16-18" barrel gun that holds the same velocity as a 24" one.

Personally I dont care much about the reloadable part as long as the factory offerings are somewhat easy to find and are priced in the same area as the normal version of the gun. IMO something like this is a great direction with new load developments with the rise in suppressed hunting vs whats been going on the past 10 years of just redesigning old calibers (6.5 = 270). As mentioned before, I wont be rushing out to get one but will be watching it closely over time to see what happens and how it keeps developing and what all rifle manufactures jump on board. If Bergara for example were to start adding it to their rifles down the road I may look a little more into it. Seems at the moment Savage is the only one on board that is in a price I would even consider, but Im not a big Savage guy. The others like Seekins, Horizon, Proof etc are all WELL above what I would spend on a rifle for my needs.
 
Gee... with all these designer cartridges I hope they don't decide to kick my .308 to the curb.

No worries on that—the .30 cals will still be standing when all the "Gucci" guns have faded into obscurity…😎

thats not what I was saying at all, my point is it would be cool to be able to run a 16-18" barrel 308 but still get the same velocity a longer barrel standard 308 gets. To people who dont care about shorter barrels or hunting suppressed I can see how that doesnt mean much. To all of us that DO, its a cool step in the right direction.

At one point a cordless phone was silly. Nothing wrong with a 308 but it also has not been innovated on in 100 years minus powder options. Nothing wrong with trying to improve on a tried and true round with how far technology has advanced.

Some are in the "if it aint broke, dont fix it crowd" and others in the "it aint broke, but see if we can make it even better crowd". Generally speaking I tend to be in the latter, but understand some are in the former.
