[QUOTE="woodsman1991, post: 3071926, member: 127943"] I seem to recall a story of a famous old hunter in Alaska who used 220 Swift as his favorite cartridge and ran into a grizzly with it. He had a heck of a time but managed to put the grizzly down. I'm in the camp of just because you can, doesn't mean you should. The 6.5 CM is certainly capable of killing a grizzly. The cost if you make a mistake is potentially your life, everyone can run their own calculations to see if the risk/reward of using a 6.5 CM makes sense to them. Personally I'd want a little bit more velocity and mass headed downrange to put the odds more in my favor... [/QUOTE]
