The 6.5CM is simply an improved .260 with the correct barrel twist. That's a good thing, It's a good recoil-reduced cartridge, and those who continually attack it are simply morons. It's not the 6.5CMs fault that previous 6.5s were twisted wrong or sized for intermediate actions no longer produced. It doesn't compete with the 26 Nosler or 6.5 WSM or even the .264WM, but then like all short action small head cartridges it's really designed for very low recoil - a women and children and targets cartridge. it does that well and is eminently reloadable and accurate.
Those that continually praise it as the greatest thing since sliced bread are also morons.
