Not saying everyone will have same results as me, but i just feel like the round is too damn hot for shorter ranges and doesnt get enough expansion before exit. I gave it a fair chance, but its back in the safe for deer. 308 and 270wsm will remain my deer rifles
Just want to point out the hypocrisy of this post. The .270 wsm is traveling faster than a 6.5cm

Last statement on this: the 6.5cm is not some magical laser beam of a round. It will not shoot 1000yds with zero drop. It is only a round that has had very good advertising and the bullet itself does better in the wind that other bullets for weight.
I’ve been able to push mine up to around 2900fps in reloads using 140gr bullets out of a 26” barrel.
Right now I’m shooting it to right around 2825fps.
Most factory loads are around 2700fps.
However, it’s the ballistic twin to the .260 and pretty danged close to the 6.5 swede.

Which is why i clearly said i use it and the 308. I take 308 99% of time unless hunting pipelines or midwest, then its the 270 wsm. The 160gr 270 wsm is devistating on deer, the 5 deer i shot with the barnes and 143gr eldx in 6.5 was less than desired.
