Maybe you need to improve your shooting skills or experience?


Killed plenty of deer with the 6.5. Which is why i have real data on the round on deer. I just prefer not to trail them 300yds on double lung shots. The 6.5 is a novelty round. After using it 3 yrs it wont leave the safe unless shooting paper. 308 shits all over it

Maybe with all of the "long range hunting" shite loads that are out there. There are so many better options than all of this long range miracle juice being used. A 140 or 156 grain 6.5mm soft point out the barrel around 2600fps is a long proven recipe for making big game dead.

What bullet did you use? Never had to do much tracking with the 6.5.
