Thanks for the great Info. Are you a Deer hunter ? If so what is the load you hunt with ? I am new to this cartridge and do not have any hunting experiance with it yet. This upcoming season will be my first with the 6.5......Last fall I missed a GIANT Buck with the 6.8, that deer was a little over 300 M away. Went back a week later and killed a lesser buck with my .25-06. Gonna hunt'em this fall with the 6.5......... Can't hardly stand the wait.....Season opens here the first Sat. in Oct........
