I’m taking my 16yr old hunting in WY next year for deer and antelope. I hear all the rave about the 6.5cm. What’s y’alls thought on the 6.5? He currently shoots a 30-30 for deer hunting in AL. and the shots are never more than 100 yards. Thought I’d purchase a “new” caliber for his hunt. I use a 25-06 for distance hunting and love it.
Thanks for your advice.
Buy one, not based on the "hype" that surrounds it, but more so on some of these guys' personal experience as a judge as to how well it performs. I would not hesitate to buy a 6.5 creedmoor for an antelope hunt.
