[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1635377, member: 54178"] Please do not hunt bull elk with a 6.5 CM. Cows under 400 yards, yes, but not bull elk. I have a 6.5 CM Ruger Precision Rifle for competition and it easily handles 1,000 yards FOR PAPER or steel. In 2018 I also bought a 6.5 CM Browning X-Bolt Pro lightweight mountain rifle. (BTW, I live in Nevada but used to live in Erie, PA.) BUT Browning did not make the X-Bolt Pro in 6.5 PRC at the time I bought my rifle. HOWSOMEVER... I am selling that beautiful rifle and getting the same rifle in 6.5 PRC because that cartridge is just [I]so[/I] good for western hunting but not a "barrel burner". [B]**Don't take my word for it.[/B] Go to Youtube and search for "6.5 PRC reviews" and watch the [B]"TRUE MAGNUM" video[/B] where they compare the 6.5 CM, 6.5 PRC and .300 Win mag. They explain clearly with data why they feel the 6.5 PRC is the best for long range North American hunting. Would I shoot a polar bear or grizzly with it? NOPE! But anything else in North America will easily fall to it within, say, 600 yards, and ethical distance. (See the video.) I own a nice Browning A-Bolt in .300 Win mag and I'm selling it to get the 6.5 PRC X-Bolt Pro. THAT is how much faith I put in that cartridge. Eric B. [/QUOTE]
