Planning to bring both on my CO muley hunt but haven't decided who's the starter yet. Thoughts? With the RUM I'm shooting 200 gr AB, the 6.5 likes 147 gr ELD Match best. I was very skeptical of this as a hunting round at first but have had stellar performance on big whitetail to date. I shoot both very effectively, have kills on elk out to 600 with the 300 RUM. Advantage to the 6.5 would be in weight of the rifle as well as noise (recently had a brake put on the 300) and recoil obviously. Thoughts?
I guess really looking for feedback on whether 6.5CM is enough rifle to trust on a big mature muley out to 400-500 yards....
