Bakes,

I ran into the same sort of thing when I mentioned I would use my .260Rem, when I get over there, for my plains game.
I think that the 6.5's are very easy to shoot and, if you can shoot it well and have confidence in it, I say use it.
Great SD's & BC"S. Thumbs up on the ol' 7mm and 303, proven time and time again.
