Why would they name these as they did? 6.5-284 Norma? Why not the 6.5 Norma or something else? Why the .338-06 A-square? They didn't call the .270 win the 270-06 or the 280 rem the 7mm-06? | ||

Marketing. The 6.5-.284 Norma denotes that it is based on the .284 Win. round (popular among U.S. wildcatters) and Norma connotes quality. For all I know, they do call it the 6.5 Norma in Europe. The .270 Winchester was designed by Winchester, hence the name. There was little reason to give attribution to the parent cartridge. The .280 Rem. was once known as the 7mm-06 before it was commercialized, and the 7mm Remington Express when Remington first introduced it. George | |||
