[QUOTE="britz, post: 183899, member: 7865"] I have no experience with either cartidge, but just looking at the brass scematics I'd have to say that the smith wasn't right. the 260 has a 20 degree shoulder and a main capacity length to the datumn line of 42.35mm, whereas the 6.5 x 47 has a main capacity length of 37.4 to datumn line. The body taper is nearly identical (width of both cartridges is within .06 mm). Here is a link to the 6.5 x 47 [url=http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek072.html]6.5x47 Lapua Benchrest--New Cartridge Info[/url] I'm sure it is an absolutely excelent cartridge, but you should know what you are getting. It seems the 260 will have a little more power. [/QUOTE]
