[QUOTE="teekayo260rem, post: 1780416, member: 105754"] I can understand why 6.5 cals are so popular , but not the CM. The 6.5 cals have been around for a long time in Europe for hunting and in 2 world wars. But there are so many 6.5 cals that perform better than the CM, Like my Fav the .260rem also 6.5-284 Norma, 6.5-300 and 6.5x 47 too. Here in Australia CM is so popular but with options like the .260 so much cheaper to reload I cant understand it , I resize .243w and 7 mm 08 brass for the 260 and the new brass for CM can cost you. For hunting for years I used the .243w which unless you were going to the NT for Buffalo's or Victoria for Rusa deer it was all you needed for hogs and dogs. But since 2010 the .260rem is my main go to hunting rifle and I cant see that ever changing. [/QUOTE]
