I bought the 6.5CM late in the year, so I haven't hand loaded for it yet. So I shot the Hornady factory ammo with the ELDX bullets in the 6.5CM this past season. 4 deer with broadside double lung shots (all shot in the crease right behind shoulder). All went about 25 yards max. Just about any bullet will work for shots like that. Typically, Barnes TTSX are all I ever hand load anymore. I have a box of their LRX 127gr to load for a 6.5CM. I also have a .260Rem and will try the same bullets with that chambering, as well as the 120gr. TTSX. I prefer the mono-metal bullets for all around performance. When meat hunting, I typically shoot behind the shoulder and they seem to minimize blood shot meat and always provide a decent exit wound to help with tracking. If I'm trophy hunting, I typically shoot for the shoulder to break bone and they also perform well for that and hold together.
