ORIGINAL: Hard Luck
Ran into one it looks like it going a 100 mpr sitting still. Anyone have experience with one ? Might get it for Western Mule deer and antelope although my little .243 always gets the job done.
Built one in 1960 on a Mauser action. It was one of the very first .264's in Texas! It had a horrendous muzzle blast - if you fired it towards dusk, the fireball was as big as the Goodyear Blimp (well, not quite, maybe). The factory ammo was loaded so hot it pierced primers, but it never gave the claimed 3200 FPS with the 140-grain bullet. But I did have a 6.5 Gibbs at that time that would do over 3100 with the same bullet and 10 grains LESS powder.........
6.5mm cartridges have never been given the respect they deserve in the U.S. With maybe the exception of the dear old 6.5X55mm Svenski.....
