[QUOTE="Natty Bumpo, post: 184867, member: 10106"] Thanks for all the helpful advice. I also considered the 6.5 Creedmoor which operates at lower pressure than the 6.5X47; but, it's still too early for that one and the smith I've been speaking with can't do it. I've decided to go with the 6.5X47 Lapua. Brass is pricier, but better. Pressure is higher, but it doesn't have to be loaded to maximum. I wasn't aware the neck is longer than the .260 Rem, but that's worth something. Longer case necks are easier on the throat. With either chambering, it'll be around 9 months before the rifle is done.
