I bet anything with a .620 BC will fly well. I was merely speaking to the ability of the 6.5 to go up in weight for stuff bigger than deer...IF one intended. In my mind, that's a better realm for the 6.5 than the 6.....not any knock on the 6 for shooting lots or shooting long. I've got a 260, some 243s, and have dumped my 7s, and kept my 30s and 35s. 6.5CM seems to be another good off-the-shelf fed option for versatility....that's all. I can do without the stigma the goofiness and hype has given it. One of my 243 tubes may get pulled for a 6.5 CM tube I have waiting, and if I like it over a 260 THAT much, I might just have it set back and rechambered, as well. Hell, I have a CLR in '06 that I might let Melvin turn into a 6.5-06......probably be more fun to shoot, anyway. ....but I should have ONE '06.....just because.LOL
