I’m pretty happy with it. I attempted to get out again and shoot on a public range last weekend but both times I got surprised by another shooters muzzle blast on the line.

I’m still pretty happy with the load overall. Can’t wait for a long weekend to stretch it out a little. This is just a plain Jane T3X with a SS 6X MQ on it.

I kinda think if Bob had tried the 6.5 CM with any of the great 125/130 grain Bullets with 17 he’d probably liked it a little more. I kinda think that’s what I wanna try next.



I agree with your last statement. All the interactions Bob and I had privately were about my my experiences hunting with "target" bullets. Bob had them, but he couldn't be convinced that they were effective for hunting. I tried to sell him that an Amax or VLD through the ribs or shoulders would be as reliable as his Bitterroots or Partitions. He had far more experience than I did, and knew his stuff, so I didn't push it.

I belong on eroding granite, among the pines.
