If you're reloading, how about 6mm creed? Capable with heavier bullets than .243 win and faster and flatter shooting than .243 or 6.5 creed.
As for 6.5CM it's a fine cartridge, might have been hyped up at one point, which seems to drive the hate on it, but who cares? There is no end all be all cartridge. And take it for what it is, 6.5CM is capable, mild to shoot, has good ammo availability, and it kills game...
Have fun shooting with your son!
