My only gripe with the 6.5 Crudmoor is that it seems to be sucking up print space in every rag in print that might be devoted to something that interests me more, but that's just my self centered opinion! LOL! I find that I don't get enough trigger time with my quarter bores and light 7mm's to embark on a 6.5/.243 quest. Not a .243 or .270 fan either, but then again I don't like Irish Whisky or Lite beer either. If I don't feel that the .257 is enough gun, I step up to one of the 7mm cartridges, and if that ain't enough, her comes the .35 Whelen or .300 Roy! My bottom line is if the 6.5 C keeps one manufacturer in business, brings in one new hunter, or retains one old hunter in the sport, then it is all worthwhile. Happy Trails
