Re: USSOCOM has adopted the 6.5 CM as their new Precision Rifle

Quote:

The 6.5 CM has a little more velocity than the 280 British (1945), or the earlier 276 Pedersen (1923) cartridges. Not a lot is new in the world of firearms. The quality of the brass, and projectiles has improved dramatically however.




Agree--yes the bullets have certainly come a long way in the past few years, not just for rifle, but for handgun as well...doing some of the penetration tests we have been doing, its amazing what a 9mm is capable of now...

Rifle as well..there is still the old standby's like the partition which seem to work well for most, however for the higher velocity calibers, prefer a more durable construction..but yes, depending on what you are doing, hunting, targets, long distance , there is a bullet for everyone..

Lately the 6.5 PRC is showing up more and more with guys I see at the range..
