6.5 CM as a hunting cartridge... why?

[Potsie]

Got some new RUM stuff to load. mtmuley

Ooooo… details?

Mine is stacking dimes with boring regularity with 182 HHT and H1000.

Probably going with those for spring bear this year.

Lighter than the 182. And a new bullet maybe. mtmuley

110s?

Nope. While some guys have had good results with the really light bullets, not for me. mtmuley

Got a lead on a NIB Ruger tang safety swift I think with a 26 inch barrel. What to do with it?

George Dieruf Sr, with a ram I’m holding. He killed it with one shot with his old Winchester pre 64 model 70 in 220 Swift. This was 1985. He was 77 years old.

You start some weird threads for just being a bird watcher

Completely unrelated but have you ever noticed the number of birds called "cocks"? Also, unrelated but Ive never heard any birder refer to themselves as a "@#)(# enthusiast", but I'd wager that in that community there are folks who brag about seeing every species of that type...

A little known benefit of the Flutie pill is that you can save weight on backcountry trips since you only need one trekking pole for your trekking pole shelter.

I just don’t see how bringing up a shooting scenario that is outside most people capabilities in order to prove / disprove your opinion on what you believe to be an “elk round” helps your argument. Your argument looks like, hey I want a larger cartridge because my ethical shot scenario / distance changes depending on the size of the animal in my scope, therefore I need (insert round) to compensate for a bad shot. And I’m not disagreeing with your stance, I love large calibers. But the argument ehh. I’ll go back to putting mayonnaise in a toaster

Because the same folks that cant do it with a 6.5 ThunderCunt could do it with a 300 Win Mag? I have no idea what point that you are trying to make here.
Sorry - question is for the OP that we are both responding to not to you Buffalo. *tips hat* apologizes for the confusion.
