Thanks for the response. It's ok to agree to disagree. I bought a 6.5CM to see what all the fuss is about. I really like it. Very accurate right out of the box with factory ammo. Here's the part you will disagree with: For deer hunting, I prefer 120gr bullets in the CM. At 2900ish, they are just right for my hunting needs. In fact it is a ballistic twin to my beloved 257R. I have no need or interest in 140gr bullets in the CM. If I'm after bigger game than deer and want a heavier bullet I'll use a 270/280/'06/7mag. Probably with a bullet with the BC of a ping pong ball
. Works for me...
If I were into long range target completion, the high BCs would be a necessity. But not for my hunting needs. YMMV
