[QUOTE="Oldtime Shooter13, post: 2635454, member: 109503"] I purchased a 6mm CM and have been pretty impressed with accuracy. I have only loaded 107-110 Gr bullets so far, I did not buy a 7.5” twist for fast light bullets. I was always a big 243 Win fan, but with most factory rifles built with 9.25” to 10” twist rate, 105+ Gr bullets typically will not stabilize. Many whitetails have been taken with 90-100gr bullets, but they do not have the high BC of the heavy 6mm bullets. To answer your question, I would hunt with the 6.5X284 if it is what you are confident in. I think the 6 CM would do the job, but if your hammer is your goto hunting rifle, that is what I would use? Or take them both as others have suggested, the little 6 CM may become your new hammer! [/QUOTE]
