[QUOTE="goodkid1, post: 1520521, member: 102436"] The 6.5 CM is here to stay. I have shot deer with a .243 for 20 years, am a good mid-range deer shooter (250 to 500 yards) and have never had a deer travel more than 15 feet after the well placed shot, but they almost always were kicking around enough that I felt I had to take a second coup-des-gras shot to end any suffering. So I picked up a Savage 6.5 CM light weight hunter for this year's hunt. My deer went down in his tracks at 230 yards, and only kicked for about three seconds. I feel the extra power and bullet weight (140 grains) made the difference. [/QUOTE]
