Good morning James, I can't help but wonder what cartridge you would use at the school if there were no 6.5 CM? The CM is so good at what it does (accurate, easy to shoot by most, capable to 1,000 yards +) I can't really come up with another readily available cartridge that goes the distance with tolerable recoil for most shooters. I know people get hung-up on recoil but you can't shoot a 6.5 PRC all day like you can a CM.

I can see that...always liked the 260 but factory ammo doesn't match the G1 of the CM. I like the 7-08 but higher BC bullets increase the recoil and ammo is harder to source. I have one 6.5 CM and two 308s, I like them both but much prefer shooting the CM.
