Vortex has a video of the 6.5 out preforming the .308 for hunting. They shot into gel bottles, and the 6.5 performed better every time.
I took a 600 pound moose with a 6.5 CM. I'd do it again in a heart beat. 10 steps.. down.
I'm looking for a new Tikka for long range hunting. Is the Fluted Bolt & fluted barrel worth it? Is it that much more accurate?
I hear stainless is the way to go from a gun smith. stainless with fluted. Looking for accuracy out of the box.
Brought 5 boxes of BROWNING LONG RANGE PRO AMMO. Has good reviews.
.308 165 gr,
Accurate in my Tikka, but 10% of the rounds will not chamber correctly. or the bolt won't close.
Never had this problem with Nosler or Barnes. What gives ???
Certainly can't go hunting with 10%...
