I'd hunt with that in a heartbeat if you are not having to tote it around. That's why I asked, it was an old coin, silver is what 16-18 an ounce now wink Not one you see all the time, at least I don't, nice shooter.

As to the consensus on the 6.5C for hunting, same as a 6.5x55 or 260, any non dangerous game in NA to 300 yds, perhaps a tad further, and deer to 400 or further if you can place your shot. On larger than deer sized game, I'd avoid the factory amax loads and put an Accubond, TSX, or Partition, but 140 or heavier cup/cores will get the job done.
