[QUOTE="Sockeye66, post: 2366698, member: 113619"] I have 2 7-08s and 3 6.5 CMs, they are 2 of my favorite 3 cartridges (6.5x284 the other), if their is an advantage to either it would be the heavier bullet option for the 7-08 but that also comes with more recoil. In the 140gr class, the 6.5 CM is a tough to beat combination of light recoil, high retained down range energy/speed, and sectional density. I love both cartridges and I’m not trying to sound like a 6.5 CM band wagoner. Both are great deer cartridges. [/QUOTE]
