[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2754427, member: 9299"] Well, the Army also went to the 5.56mm in 55gr and then 9mm handgun, so that negates what the Army does as a legit authority - Ha! Seriously, the 6.5CM does have better ballistics and is a little easier to shoot than the old 7.62 loads for its sniping purposes, but humans tend to be quicker/easier to incapacitate than some wild game animals at distance. Though I do not want to be shot by either round at any distance. Personally, I tend to find positive and useful things in most cartridges within their useful realm, but I just haven't warmed to the 6.5CM in a hunting round yet. I have too many calibers/cartridges that perform better than the CM cases (260AI, 6Rem and AI, 243AI, etc), but the 22CM is nearly identical to my 22/250AI's. So much so, I have used its brass to fire-form into 22/250AI's. As I age more, maybe one day I will reconsider the 6.5CM, but that will be due to no longer being the man I once was. :cool: [/QUOTE]
