[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1514556, member: 52585"] The 260AI is more pop than the CM but just barely and just light of the 65x284. All three are killers and will take an elk. Provided distance is reasonable, shot angle is broadside and what ever variable you can come up with. I won't say shot placement is key because a gut shot elk with a 300 anything mag is just that, a gut shot elk. Is the 6.5 optimal for elk,... far from it. Some will disagree with that statement as it seems guys are killing everything up to a T-Rex these days with the CM. It's not a magic bullet and there's no replacement for displacement. I say since you already have a CM go with the 300 WSM. It's a killer and when loaded with 180-200 grain boolets will do a number on elk, deer, bear, hogs and coons. In full disclosure, I too drank the cool aid and have a CM. I can say I love it for it's low recoil, ease of reloading, accuracy and killing power on deer sized game at reasonable distance. [/QUOTE]
