Just returned from a white tail hunt and my first experience with 6.5CM and Accubond bullets. Nothing to brag about size wise but the 6.5/Accubond combo performed great. Shot 3 deer during the week. Two were walking straight at me and a third broadside through weeds. Ranges were 90 to 125yds. All three deer dropped where they stood and never twitched again. Meat damage was minimal. I had my reservations. New rifle never hunted with and I couldn't get Nosler Partitions in 140gr so I "settled on" Accubonds (not ABLR ) I am sold on this combo

Weatherby Vanguard with a Leupold VX-Freedom 1.5-4x20 Pig-Plex. 39.8gr H4350, 140gr Nosler Accubonds, Rem 9 1/2 LRP, new Starline brass. Not a heavy load at all but it sure got the job done. I was hesitant to take the shot through the reeds but I hit exactly where I was aiming. These rounds shot less than an inch at 100yds during scope zero in.
