I'm really not a fan of the CM as a hunting round except for the recoil-adverse, but your "comparison" is crap. Max in the CM with either H4350 or RL16 (temp stable) is in the mid 2800s for a 24". An accuracy load can generally be found no lower than 2750.

You also need to compare equal SD bullets, not equal weight bullets to get similar wound depth.

What you've got there is grade A bullshit. The fact that a women and children short action cartridge can match the .270 is all you need to know about the failure of the .270.



6.5 Creedmoor is undersized for 6.5 bullets.


I am a huge fan of the 6mm Creedmoor and own "several ".
