Looks like great performance, thanks for sharing.
A gun in the hand is worth more than the entire police force on the phone.

Picture perfect performance.
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I'm sure it's a good deer cartridge and thanks for posting.
But the .270 Winchester has been doing that with 130 grain bullets for the last 92 years.
I think we've reached the point of diminishing returns, at least as far as advancements in cartridges are concerned.
Don't blame me. I voted for Trump.
Democrats would burn this country to the ground, if they could rule over the ashes.

No wound canal pics from the carcass hanging in the oak tree after you skinned it out?

I think we've reached the point of diminishing returns, at least as far as advancements in cartridges are concerned. I got on the 6.5 CM bandwagon last year, and killed a deer with mine. I'll probably hunt with it again this year also. Did it perform any better than any other cartridge I've ever used..........nope. Did the deer die any different than any other deer I've ever killed..........nope, didn't do that either. I like the 6.5, but if I had to go on a serious deer hunt, and kill a deer or else, I'd take my 40 year old Remington 700 Classic in 270, and some 130 grain Sierra's loaded with H4831.

I might try it, seems the a good all around bullet for the CM. The factory 147 ELDM out of the Montana kicks a bit much for my wife.

You feel it in the Montana platform...(grin) The worst kicking rifle I have had, was a Rem Ti 7-08 shooting factory 150s. It jabbed you it seemed.

Load data as follows:
Hornady brass
42.6gr H4350
CCI 200
2.875 OAL
Nothing special obviously. This was basically one of the loads of the first series I worked up and this load shot less than .400 in both my Vanguard and my M77 Predator.
