Few people load it this way, but the 6.5CM is actually a pretty decent rifle for the bigger side of big game. You can do a 160 Woodleigh Weldcore protected point at 2750 out of a 24" barrel. That'll go through an elk, moose or kudu at any angle you like and stays in the manufacturer velocity window to 440y at sealevel. And we're talking about a relatively low recoil package that could be mountain rifle weight for normal recoil tolerance shooters, or sporter weight for the recoil shy.
When you think about it, we really live an a marvelous age of rifle technology after a half century of stagnation.
