[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1497466, member: 2736"] Nothing wrong with the 6.5 CM except the bullet weight used. In the hands of our youth, we need to encourage them to use the heaviest bullet possible for the smaller cartridges with less velocity. When hunting years ago with the 270, I found the best bullet for Elk was a 150 grain. The 130 was light enough to cause issues if the shot was anything but perfect. Young hunters can get excited and make a poor hit (Just like we sometimes can) so I recommend a bullet weight that can offset this possibility and turn a poor hit into a better one. Step him up to a 140+ bullet and he will have a better chance. The 130 is great In My Opinion for deer size game with the 6.5's. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
