It's a magic cartridge.
Come to think of it, much like the 6.5 Creedmoor fan club Morons who think it us better than anything else! 
It's a bloody 6.5 small capacity cartridge, period .
It ain't as special as some try to make it out to be .

Bingo!
A friend bought a 6.5CM that his daughter is going to hunt with, but the 130grfull power loads were a little harsh for her in a light rifle, so we loaded up some reduced loads, and she is very comfortable with the 100gr bullet at 2600fps. In effect, we can match 6.5 Grendel ballistics and similar recoil, but with the option of stepping up to 6.5CM ballistics.
