 Remington was quickly responsive to early criticism by changing the twist rate in 1958 to allow for heavier bullets, replacing the 722BDL with the even more upscale Model 725ADL rifle in 1958 and ultimately transitioning to the highly successful Model 700.Remington even re-branded the cartridge name itself for a fresh start with a 100-grain factory load as 6mm Remington.While the 6mm Remington cartridge never took over the .24 caliber dual purpose market lead from .243 Winchester, it was successfully sustained in production for nearly six decades.
