Your deer rifle--why'd you choose .243 or 6.5 CM?
Always the 143g ELDX -
Your deer rifle--why'd you choose .243 or 6.5 CM?
Hey, I chose the 6.5cm. Reasoning was Iv been shootin the same 300wm for years and at the same time my brother has been shooting a 6.5cm. Year after year we take elk side by side out to 300yds. Typically they both flop dead and upon evaluation of the entry exit they both enter and exit and you... -
6.5 Creedmoor Penetration
Bliner Been shooting mine for 3 years after stepping down from my 300wm due to watching my brother take elk, muleys, and whitetail with single shot kills out to 350yds while I doubted it. After caving in iv taken 3 bucks, 1 elk, two does, and an antelope. All single shots with factory143g... -
6.5 CM Bullet? 140 AB or 120 TTSX or 127 LRX

Caliber Choice On New Rifle
For all the reasons you just mentioned. Iv never been a 6.5cm guy, not a fan of the trend, and still baffled at the success I’ve seen. I think the 7mm-08 so I don’t have to feel like I need a flat billed hat. Lol -
Caliber Choice On New Rifle
Hi All, Background: I currently own a 300WM & 7MM RM. That said, Iv taken big Muleys, Elk, and Antelope with these rifles without problem but really don’t enjoy shooting year round with them. Consistently my brother who I hunt with uses the same 6.5CM with Burris 3x9 and tags out on the same... -
