[QUOTE="ds, post: 112369, member: 3050"] Duff, Why not have the best of both worlds 6.5x47 Lapua. Lots of info on 6mmbr.com. A very brief summary (and I am a 260 shooter). 260 Rem can be a pain with brass - Rem brass leaves a lot to be desired, option are to neck up 243 Win - Lapua brass or neck down .308 win brass. In a mag feeder (2.8"COL) with 139 grain Lapua Scenars (good bc and easy to find accuracy) you are seating past the doughnut - might be able to avoid that with the Savage though. 6mm br. no first hand experince - accuracy nuts gun, wind drift will be more. 6.5x47 Lapua, top brass, small primer pocket, shorter case so no problems with seating bullets to mag length - avoids doughnut issues, 30 degree shoulder, less powder with velocities not too far from 260 Rem so longer barrel life. Hope it helps, David. [/QUOTE]
