I for one found humor in wizzer's 6.5 Woundmore mockery. I've found that 6.5 CM shooters everywhere are an interesting cohort. They just won't suffer derision of their cartridge, and it makes them uneasy that other people won't fall in line to use and love them some 6.5 CM.
I know well the proper spelling and the reasons the CM is a great design, so no need to subject me to another dissertation on the virtues of the cartridge and all the dots it connects. I don't deny that it is a well thought out arrangement of powder and bullet that serves it's purpose very well.
From my experience, heavy .284 bullets are quicker and more effective killers on game; therefore, if hunting is the main purpose, in a short action I would go 7mm-08 twisted for heavy bullets. In the Tikka I would go 280.
