[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 1007985, member: 1441"] I have a Rem Titanium that one day I'd like to rechamber as an ultra mountain rifle for chamois. The calibers I am considering are the 6XC and 6.5-47 Lapua. I generally prefer to lean toward the heavier bullet with the better BC, but in this case, the 6XC seems to have quite a bit more speed on it's side, and considering that it is not going to be shooting past 600 yards, more likley 400, that puts things into a different perspective. The 6.5-47 doesn't have enough capacity to push the 140 gn VLDs fast enough, so I'd probably be shooting the 123gn Scenards in that caliber, while with the 6XC I'd look for a 105gn VLD. Has anyone used either or both for hunting with the bullets category of bullets I mentioned? [/QUOTE]
