I got one this year for the wife to shoot. Im still not sold on it for a hunting round but we will see. Its a great target round and long distance round.
I have no experience with it but I laughed way to hard at this meme. Best of luck and post up your results when yall get one! Hopefully no tracking dogs are needed!

I bought my son a Browning X bolt in 6.5cm. It is very accurate. We haven’t hunted with it yet.

I’ve seen 6.5cm take down Elk. It will kill a deer. No concerns there, but I do wonder about expansion. Hopefully we won’t have to track. We will see this year.

No doubt it will kill and is very accurate. Im also concerned about normal hunting conditions up to 200yds with the expansion. We will NOT be using any type of ballistic pointed rounds. Im sighted in with remington core-lokt and winchester power point bullets. I want the softest bullet i can get. Lol

If I were to use a 6.5 centimeter diameter round, I would use it for aircraft, whale and dinosaurs.

Perhaps you all mean "millimeter"?

I am reminded of the Stonehenge in Spinal Tap...

Ha! I believe "CM" in this case refers to Creedmoor.
Woops... : )

Well, that being the case, I have some experience with a 6.5x284, which is just the Creedmoor with another 150 fps or so, so call it Creedmoor plus 100 yards. I've killed several large critters with it, and it works fine. I was using Berger target bullets, too. The "CM" should do fine for hunting anything in the southeast.
