I had one liked it but didn’t love it. The cartridge is a pretty solid choice for the AR-15 platform. I like my Grendel’s better.

Thank you for the replies

Carpsniperg2  Do you have 6mm or 6.5MM or both?

Was thinking the 6MM CM as another possibility

That cartridge does a number on the blacktail.

The 6mm CM is on the ar10 and wont work on the 15 like the 243wssm will.

I have a 6x45 and 2 6.5 Grendel's.

For a bunch of reasons I switched gears and I am in the process of building a AR 15 in a 22 Nosler. Thanks for the replies and if anyone has any tips on reloading for the 22 Nosler I'm all ears
