[QUOTE="VLD Pilot, post: 2038710, member: 103947"] Most of us or at least many want the best performance we can't get from a cartridge. The CM has limitations as does the 6.5-284. 26 Nosler pushes to the next level then there's lots of big case 6.5 wildcats that'll get you pumped up just from the numbers. In reality, what do you want it for. Sounds like the CM gets it done. At least seeing your harvest pics it does. The thing the 6.5-284 will give you is the same velocities as the CM only on idle mode. Compressed 6.5 CM loads will get you into the mild 6.5-284 loads. I run mine at 2975 and am on roughly 1800 rds on the current barrel. I've run up to 3100 with 140s but no need. At 2975-3000 I get .2" groups to 600 and .5" to 1200. Personally I'd stick with the CM unless your replacing a barrel. Once that's the case, I say try out the PRC or 6.5-284 [/QUOTE]
