I have no doubt that a 7 mm Remington Ultra Magnum sired this 6.5 newbie magnum. As for performance, I believe that the Indian is of more importance than the arrow. Terry Wieland reported that his Nosler rifle, firing Nosler factory ammunition, was a good 200 fps less than he had hoped for. It was still moving, just not as fast as it was hyped.

Powder technology will allow this cartridge to do what it should do in the hands of hand loaders. If not now, very soon. Someone will find that one of the newest slow burning numbers is the stuff for this cartridge.

It will never be a best seller and I think that is the point of this cartridge. It is something different. Something that sets the owner apart from the pack. This means fewer troglodytes to make a mess of things like what happened with the 7 STW, and the original .264 Winchester.

If anyone doubts what happened with these small bore numbers, just ask yourself what happens when you shoot a large bull elk with a thinly jacketed projectile, that is a bit short on sectional density, and moving at a breath taking velocity. Now do this again and again. Many of these gun owners were caught up in the notion that the higher the ballistic coefficient, the better the bullet. Cost being a consideration for many for these shooters, they chose the cheapest bullets that shot the flattest.

The best thing that Winchester did with the .264, was to neck it up to .338. Only because in the 1950's, at .338 Winchester velocities, there were really not a lot of terrible bullets. Bullet technology has improved immensely since the 1950's, I hope that shooters have caught up.
