  • The 6.5 Remington Magnum (6.5mm RM) is a rifle cartridge developed by Remington Arms in the early 1970s for use in big game hunting. This round was designed to offer superior performance compared to other rounds from that era, with velocities up to 3,000 fps and excellent penetration capabilities.The 6.5mm RM is an excellent choice for those looking for a powerful long-range round offering great ballistics in a relatively mild recoil package, making it suitable for both hunting and target shooting applications alike. It has seen increasing popularity due its accuracy and flat trajectory which makes it suitable for precision shooting at extended ranges, making it useful not only for big game but also varmints and other pests as well.
