[QUOTE="TN Song Dog, post: 5509953, member: 16694"] Totally agree. If Rem would have done it first with the .260, then 6.5CM robably wouldn't be a thing. Like you said, there wasnt really .260 factory match ammo widly available. Little peices were missing here and there, and it required some extra work by the end user to bring it all together if you wanted to really shoot LR. That wasnt an issue for most folks like yourself, thus why all the hype didnt make any real sense and was just annoying. Was just explaining that it wasn't just hype/marketing alone, though it wasn't totally revolutionary either. It was the ability to buy everything off the shelf and go shoot LR the next day... and yes there was the heavy marketing of that in many different ways/spins/hype. They combined those small missing pieces to allow folks to buy into LR shooting off the shelf, which was previously only accessible with work and dedication to the craft. It "cheapened" LR in a sense, and that irritated a lot of folks who had invested a lot of time and hard work into the sport. [/QUOTE]
