[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 2031487, member: 59526"] You went and did it so I have to clarify. Get out with the “cartridge efficiency” and “inherent accuracy” stuff. The two most loaded terms in the industry in my opinion. Efficiency is a nonsense term. Suffice to say cartridges with higher operating pressures and straighter shoulders are typically more efficient at converting energy from potential to kinetic. My 416 rem mag produces more KE per gr of powder than 6.5 CM. The bullet just happens to be shaped like a brick. Again another facet of “efficiency” is BC. So it takes a combination of the two to make a cartridge “efficient”. As for inherent accuracy I’m pretty certain BR guys are more particular than crappie fisherman and all believe their own voodoo. I find with most cartridges good accuracy is easy to find when using known accurate bullets. The 6.5 CM is a fine cartridge. If you are hunting it’s probably ideal for whitetail and muley under normal and extended ranges. If you are shooting PRS it does recoil less than 308 and most commercial match offerings do have an advantage in the wind and in drop. It’s not the end all be all hunting cartridge but it’s pretty flexible. It’s not a 300 Norma but people shoot it out to a mile apparently. It’s another tool in the tool box. Personally I don’t need one. [/QUOTE]
