Sandals will go nicely with the yoga pants mentioned earlier.
From what I have read those hammer's are very effective from the 6.5 creedmoor. This below is from earlier and posted about what his wife used in Africa on plains game.
Holy smokes I can't believe how many responses you got with this one. LOL.... I am a bigger is better kinda guy..... I haven't done it yet but the thought has definitely crossed my mind to get a 6.5. I just got a 7prc so maybe you could say I am half a mm off...LOL

I'm sitting here wondering who even makes and sells a 6.5 FMJ. And one that logs entire forests with it's unbelievable penetrating power.Maybe a young growth forest?

After seeing this, I'm really fighting the urge to cave!
That picture was with minimal work up with 140 BT. This picture below is with first hand loads of 140 ELDM. I switched powder's to get a bit better velocity afterwards.
Honestly this cartridge is very easy to get to shoot.

I meant ballistically speaking.
I know you love to turkey hunt Gundog so I have to ask if you are still using a 10 gauge or a 12 with 3.5" shells? I dropped down to a 20 gauge with 3" TSS and couldn't be happier with the results. Many love the 410 with TSS.
Specifically pronghorn antelope.
Again, we are talking about normal people hunting with normal rifles. I understand this blog is called Long Range Hunting, but the 270 as well as the 6.8 Western kick the butt of the 6.5 CM all the way across the hay-field at normal long range hunting distances. To my humble way of thinking, no ethical hunter should shoot at any game animal beyond 300 yards, and never beyond 600 yards.And at 1k the CM is hitting harder than the mighty 270 Win. Higher sectional density & BC with the same weight projo. Not sure why I'm defending it either.
The chances of a first round fatal hit at longer ranges show diminishing returns as range increases. I don't know how many of you are familiar with the Backfire series on You Tube, https://www.youtube.com/backfire but in many of their shows, Jim shows the probability of a first round hit, mostly at ranges out to 600 yards is not all that good, and the few times the show, shooting out to 1000 shows the improbability of a first round hit all the time. The second point to make here is, in my humble opinion, hunting ends and execution begins, probably at around 400 yards. Beyond that, the animal does not know that you are there, and thus it is no longer hunting but mostly attempted murder of a game animal.

Well, there are a lot of things that are sissy or other types of derogatory terms used by many. Being a woman I already qualify as sissified by a lot of men, so be it. I do have to agree that a man bun is sissified, but the ability to grow a beard does not make you a man either. I will admit that my thoughts are somewhat pre ordained since I spent 30 years in the Army. I do not find men with long hair or beards, especially long scraggly, unkempt hair or beards as being particularly manly. There are, however, women that do. The attached internet photo shows my thoughts on what is acceptable as a manly hair, and beard if one absolutely needs to have a beard.
