[QUOTE="cjhunts_alot, post: 1559398, member: 92711"] You simply can't have a thread discussing caliber recommendations without bringing up the merits of the mighty 6.5CM. :) It's a great little cartridge, and I have several rifles chambered in it. That said, I actually side with the article this thread was started on. I prefer the trajectory and velocity of my 257wby for most of my hunting over the "wind beating" BC's of the 6.5cm... Now, throw the 147eldm at weatherby velocities and we're having an entirely different conversation. To each their own. I don't dislike any cartridge that puts a bullet where it needs to go and provides enough terminal performance to kill an animal quickly. I also know the nut behind the gun is what matters more than the bullet or cartridge. There's no reason to fight over it. Lol. [/QUOTE]
