I could care less about any CM they are just a fad, not any better than anything that’s been around longer. That said... there is no cartridge that is just gonna drop everything you shoot with it behind the shoulder. I’ve never dropped a whitetail with a behind the shoulder shot, even with 180 gr .30 cal bullets. If you want them to drop where they stand, you have to shoot them high in the shoulder to shock the spine and break down the shoulder. Any caliber is capable of this, so I wouldn’t worry that your bullet is not working. It seems to be doing exactly what it’s meant to do, to kill.

I’ve seen more deer run with a 6.5 than anything else. When I had mine a few years back I’d base of the neck shoot them or high shoulder. They were drt. But anything behind the shoulder they ran with very little blood. But I’ve also seen people that get real good blood. Just luck of the draw I guess. The one gun I’ve seen absolutely pulverize animals is the 7/08 and they almost match trajectory and velocity. Weird.

Other calibers combined.
Wow that’s surprising. I bought my son a 6.5 two years ago and he has been using the 143 grain ELDX. He’s made some good shots and some not so good shots and has dropped both deer and hogs like a bad habit.
I don’t like for him to shoot deer in the shoulder with it because it wrecks both shoulders but it’s been a dang hood combo so far.
