I have been hunting with the 6.5 cm for the last two seasons. My problem so far has been no blood trails and the deer running off. I started out with 140 grain hornady flat base. Out of 5 one left a decent trail.that was also the only exit. This season I have shot three so far and still no blood trail. I’ve got exits on all three with Speer but the exit is still smaller than my pinky. I use the Speer in two calibers with silver dollar sized exits. They have always provided good blood trails though I only needed it once. It’s not a shot placement issue. Does anybody else have this problem? And what bullet do you recommend? I load my own. The only one that dropped was one I broke both shoulders. It was about 40 yards and still a pinky size exit.
