Damn, out of all this I got one good suggestion and a thumbs up on the tikka.
I don't own a 6.5CM but I've got a couple 6.5x55 Swedes (Creedmoor's older brother and what 6.5CM wants to be when it grows up) and you're gonna be hard pressed to find a better hunting bullet than the 143gr ELD-X. It's got match grade accuracy and devastating performance on whitetail sized game.
