[QUOTE="Web1350, post: 1628042, member: 110036"] I'm totally with KyCarl as I, too, am fed up with the 6.5CM hype. I'm sure it's a fine round but I don't feel it's necessary. As for shooting at an animal upwards of 500 yards I feel it is too risky on just injuring the animal. There are, and have been, cartridges available for many years that can accomplish what the 6.5CM does. People are all too quick to jump on the bandwagon of something new. This craze reminds me somewhat of the .40 caliber pistol mania. It was something everyone thought was the magic bullet. It took time but it has fallen out of favor and after speaking with several gun dealers they sell very few of them anymore. As they say, "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I say unequivocally, .308.
