My point was the cartridge itself is nothing revolutionary. Put a fast twist barrel on any of the other 6.5s and you do the same thing. Unfortunately it is a hand loading proposition at that point.Yes: readily available factory rifles and ammo.
Whoever decided to put the fast twist barrel on a 6.5 in general needs a credit, not some revolutionary design.
Reality is they couldn't just slap a faster twist barrel on any of the other 6.5, IMO. Folks with the slower twist bbl would shoot the ammo that needed a faster twist and it would be a PR mess.
So good on the marketing machine.
