I had three - 6.5 CM's (Tikka, sold to a buddy, Barrett Fieldcraft and Kimber) and have concluded it is a very easy cartridge to load for and shoot well. All three rifles have stellar accuracy without the need for incense or an exorcism. Last year I tagged out on an Alaska caribou and a NM cow elk. But I still prefer the .270 Win. cause it can handle long-range, drops and windage a bit better. Might keep the Whittakers B. F. "limited edition" and the Kimber Montana - we'll see.
The research done by the Hornady engineers and a couple of others was very thought out and executed.
My home is the "sanctuary residence" for my firearms.
