[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1530325, member: 12995"] If I'm so stupid... Then why am I able to see past the charade? I'm not the one running around wearing rose-colored glasses... As for compared to a 6.5x47 Lapua or a .260 Remington? You handload, right? Doesn't that sort of null-out your argument about factory ammo? Actually, nobody said anything about factory ammo, so why is that even being brought up? That is LITERALLY the only argument the 6.5CM supporters have left at this point, other than the shorter OAL. The rest has been completely disproven. If you handload, you should be able to put whatever bullets and powder you want into any case, and for a lot cheaper than ANY factory ammo of any type or cartridge, right? Therefore, if you handload, and you don't fly to your hunting location, the factory ammo argument is out the window. If people want to shoot it, go for it...More power to them. But use it within its means, and within your skills. If you can't get within a close enough distance to properly place your shot with enough energy to kill your game, don't pull the trigger! It's that simple. But when hunters are under-gunned, and/or over-distance for their skills, and they're losing or wounding animals, that is unethical hunting! Not to mention that it makes us all look bad to the non-hunters, the Fudds, and the anti-gunners! It just gives them more ammo to use against us and our sport. [/QUOTE]
