Thoughts on the 6.5 CM or 308 win.
I laugh at the 6.5cm's bad reputation. It works well for my needs. Light recoiling, relatively flat shooting and kills everything I shoot at.I went back and forth on 6.5cm vs 308 and went with the 6.5 on my AR10 setup because it'll have similar performance at reasonable ranges while having 30% less recoil which matters quite a bit for me with a thermal at night.
I just looked up the 20 inch 308 and 7.2 pounds. I'm a 308 person with an AR10 that is more like 12 pounds with a big scope. 308 is very availiable and easy to load. I never jumped on the 6.5 band wagon because I already have calibers of 257 and 277.
I'm a texas pig hunter and 308 with 125 grain TNT Speer bullets is a DRT round.
Did you read that 30% on the internet? I just looked up the CM load data and out of 24 inch and it can chuck a 123 gr @3000 fps 308 I chuck a 125 gr TNT at 3000 out of my 20 inch. Which comes out to nearly the same energy in both directions. Way back I used to use my 270 on stands and feeders out to 600 yards. To get high BC I had to use heavy for the cal bullets. In my testing high sectional density rounds just caused blow throughs on body shots and 250 pound pigs run off and die. Then you have to look for them. So the key is to use lighter frangeble rounds. As a kid I even used 22-250 and 243 on pigs using good shot placement.I went back and forth on 6.5cm vs 308 and went with the 6.5 on my AR10 setup because it'll have similar performance at reasonable ranges while having 30% less recoil which matters quite a bit for me with a thermal at night.

No man bun for this guy!
Yeah, talk about the dumbest business move ever. I'm sorry to hear you invested in a solid company that decided to kamakzi into social/political matters. I would have never guessed they'd go that route.I can't buy Budlight anymore! I never WOKE up! I used to be sponcered by Budlight for racing and sadly own a bunch of their prefered stock that used to pay great dividends until they moved overseas. Now the Belgium goverment imposes a 50% dividend fee. I don't have an idea how to do a foriegn income tax and feasable get it all back
