I really like this guy. I don't agree with everything he says.
Lol - what is an elk rifle? I grew up in the middle of elk country in Idaho, so maybe you can educate me brother. Also, I own several of the big magnums, 300 rum, 325 wsm, 300 weatherby, 7mm RM...so I am not anti magnum. I hunt elk regularly with my 25-06 and it knocks the **** out of them - so please enlighten me...OK you might have. BUT I still don't think that makes a 25-06 or a 6.5 CM an Elk gun!
I bet you I could kill one with my 22-250 at 200 yards or less! But it ain't an Elk rifle!
I can drive a nail with a rock but a hammer is a lot better?
"Only one company making brass" for the 6.5CM? Are you crazy?
Lapua (both LRP & SRP)
Alpha (both LRP & SRP)
ADG (both LRP & SRP)
Nosler
Norma
Hornady
Remington
Winchester
Federal
Starline
Etc.
Plus, look at drift and retained energy at 400 & 600 in your own supplied article. Go out to 800, and the GAP expands.
I am no 6.5CM supporter. But your info is totally off.
Tell ne why we need 3 or 4 cartridges that are equal. the 6.5x55 is way older does what ever the others do. The original 6.5x55 were evem designed to shoot 160 grain bullets.
As for the 25-06 there are heavy more bc friendly bullets on the market now. Given time this craze will catch on for how long only time will tell.
Still nothing the 260 won't do better any day of the week"Only one company making brass" for the 6.5CM? Are you crazy?

Never said it wouldn't. But "better" is very minute, if at all. I had a sweet .260 Rem. Shot lights out. 140 HVLD @ 2850fps over 42.0gr H4350. I also have a 6.5 SLR (think .260 w. neck/shoulder of 6.5x47L). 140 HVLD @ 2800 or 2940fps depending on target or hunting loads.Still nothing the 260 won't do better any day of the week
