[QUOTE="Ltbullken, post: 1534658, member: 80386"] The 6.5CM does NOT hold magical killing properties for all game, conditions and ranges. It is a great deer and sheep round and I wouldn’t hesitate to use it out to 500 yds for that purpose. For elk and moose, it is a bit tenuous. Scandinavians have been killing moose with a 6.5 for decades. I’ve taken an elk DRT with a 130 TSX from a 260 at 125 paces (broadside through the heart/lungs). But, I wouldn’t employ the CM past 200 with big bodied game and only with a well made bullet (130 gr+ controlled expansion) and great shot presentation (broadside) with good shot placement. As with all hunting, one needs to keep in mind a cartridge’s limitations along with the shooter’s capabilities. [/QUOTE]
