Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Deer Hunting 6.5 CM for white tails. What load?

I see a lot of love for the 6.5 CM here n campfire. I always thought of it as a long range target and hunting round.
Do any of you have experience with it on timber or close range whitetails? If so what are your preferred factory loads.
I want an exit and a nice blood trail. I was thinking Federal Fusion, Federal Premium with Accubond or Barnes TSX.
