But I will contribute.
I have shot the 260 Rem (not the CM) long enough to see the benefits of it, I have also had my fair share of flings with various magnums to also realize there benefits as well. I’m not a long range hunter so all this really means nothing to me, the difference of any of these rounds to 300 yards isn’t much. I’m old and not much of a magnum guy anymore.
I also think the relation between SD & penetration means absolutely nothing with today’s bullets.
Sometimes, most of you are saying the same thing but in different themes, and argue about it. Makes me laugh.

I enjoy these threads and all the regulars, but don't post much because I am an absolute beginner with one centrefire rifle. That being said, I suspect many are being deliberately obtuse because they enjoy the argument.
A quick search of a bazillion youtube videos of guys shooting metal plates, cinder blocks, and ballistic gel shows both the relative efficiency of 6.5's and the powerful punch of larger calibers... the argument really is not about which is better, but which is a good choice for a specific individual in a specific circumstance.
I look forward to more of these threads as I have learned a great deal looking into what all these experienced guys have to say... though three new ones in a day is a bit much, lol.
