[QUOTE="TNRifleman, post: 4981295, member: 16556"] Congrats and great shot. I really don't understand the hatred for a cartridge that shows up, especially when it is extremely similar to the beloved 7mm-08 and almost identical to the Rem. 260. I still prefer to hunt with my long actions (270, 30-06 and 280AI) but the 6.5 makes for a great deer round in a light rifle with low recoil. I shot a 150 lb hog in TX last summer at 237 yards with a 140 gr. ELD M. She ran 15 yards and piled up. Would not be my first choice for elk but for most other hunting in the US, it will work great. For hunting, I am mainly shooting 140 gr Accubonds now and have had great results. [/QUOTE]
