[QUOTE="jbenevides89, post: 2333787, member: 115892"] I have benched my 6.5CM for anything larger than a coyote at this point. I have tried the 143 ELD-x and 156 Berger EOLs and have seen nothing but inconsistent results. I have lost 4 whitetails all within 200 yards off this caliber within the last 2 years. Its great at killing paper, I am sure there is a bullet out there that it will perform well with, but I am done looking for it. I have many other calibers to use, but not being confident in my equipment to do the job just does not cut it when trying to keep shots ethical and filling the freezer. To the OP, I don't blame you for trying it. There is so much back and forth on this round....lots of success and a lot of the failures I am sure can be placed on the shooter and not the round. I am not trying to hate on the 6.5 CM, I have two and the are tach drivers and fun to shot. My experience with its hunting reliability has been less than satisfactory though. [/QUOTE]
