Some people will always despise what is new because it is cool to hate what is new. That said, the 6.5 CM has been around long enough for anybody whom wants to give it a chance to have a go at it. My favorite rifles are chambered in 6.5 CM and 6.5x55. I’m extremely satisfied with the way those rifles have performed. I’m also happy with my 308s, 257 WMs, 300 WMs, 6.8 SPCs, 30-06s and well, you get the picture. Heck, I’ve even come to love my little 30” BLK and I was an avowed 300 BLK hater for a loooooooong time.

No cartridge is perfect, but many are great for multiple uses. The 6.5 CM falls into that category. It does a lot of things extremely well. It’s not at the top of my list for a grizzly cartridge, but it kills the absolute crap out of pigs and deer and that’s about all I hunt.

The 6.5 cm is far from new, it took awhile to catch on. I know how many times or how we say it that we say it’s the hype we don’t like, some just hear l hate the cm. That kinda proves the point.

Yeah, Bob is still working on his .35BNE (Banzai Nelson Express) wildcat and trying to find more 7.7 Jap brass to neck up and finding someone to make a set of dies. So, he needs to focus on that one first before venturing into the Creedmoor abyss. LOL

I hear Bob is going to New Guinea & the Solomon islands with a metal detector to try & find some Arisakas as they will handle the pressures of his new wild cat .

I'll bet he could find some still in their crates in some of the caves on the Marshall Islands? If not, there should be a few banging around (pun intended) OZ for sale?

I contacted the seller because there was conflicting info in the ad. The headline states that it's a HS Precision stock, but elsewhere in the description they say it's a Hogue overmolded stock. They replied and stated that it says Hogue Overmolded on the box. So the headline is inaccurate, misleading and just plain wrong.

Yes Bob they would be , i have a friend a construction engineer who worked in the Gilbert Islands in the 1970s they dug up stuff nealy every day both US & Jap & had both Governments involved with the human remains , & unexploded ordnance most was dumped into the sea. He
was building water supply & sewer for the Island of Tawawa.

Just a another bit of the story about the construction on Tawawa, the construction man Bill, tells is they uncovered a bunker with some skeletons of Japs in it still dressed for battle , his boss at the time an Englishman did not want to get any body involved as it would hold up the project, Bill got the island natives to take one of the skeletons put it in a sand bag & complete with equipment rifle helmet ect & sit it up in the corner of his bosses office one night, he said that got the right results next day.

When I was in elementary school, I went to a friend's home a couple of blocks away. In the sandbox, was a completely rusted Japanese machine gun. I'm sure his old man had brought it home from WW2 as a souvenir.
