Remington hit a home run back in 1962 when they introduced their new Model 700 bolt action rifle, along with a brand-new belted magnum cartridge, the 7mm Remington Magnum. It became an instant hit with big game hunters and shooters largely due to its versatility and longer barrel life compared to Winchester’s .264 Winchester Magnum.

Introduced by Norma in 1999, the 6.5-284 Norma is a standardized version of a concept that gunsmiths and wildcat fans have been doing for years. 

Featuring a 40-degree Ackley-type shoulder and 10 percent more case capacity over the parent 6mm BR case, the 6mm Dasher has been used to set records in the 600 and 1,000-yard benchrest community, and has become a favorite among competitors in the Precision Rifle Series as well.
