[QUOTE="Tenntrapper, post: 5774981, member: 18110"] No!! I'm saying that for what I assume we are talking about...the performance would be the same...or close enough to not really matter. As far as ammo, firearm availability...that's a design of marketing. Hornady succeeded to do what Remington failed at. As a result, the CM caught on...and everyone just has to have one. I can't say enough...I don't have anything against it. But to me...just nothing special about it. And another thing....ammo availability. That gets brought up a lot. I don't disagree that it is far more plentiful than the 260 or swede...but that doesn't make it a better cartridge. If that was the case... during covid, all I was ever seeing was 350 legend and 308 win. Does that automatically make them better? Better at what? The CM with it's wide selection of firearms and ammo availability make it a great choice...never disputed that. From the aspect of sending a 140 class 264 bullet down range... there are better performing options...even if only by a few fps. And I'm sorry....I just don't buy it that the same bullet, going 100fps faster, out of a properly tuned load, will perform worse than a slower one., especially when shooting paper at extended ranges. Did Hornady come up with something that will put a target capable round into the hands of the masses... absolutely. Never disputed that. But THAT is marketing. [/QUOTE]
