[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1260714, member: 30902"] What I am saying isn't somewhat true, or partially true, it's absolutely true. There is only so much powder you can stuff in a given case and the 6.5x47 case volume is about 2gr's less than the 260. If you look at load data many of those publishing data today give you a % number. That percentage is percentage of full case volume. It doesn't matter what caliber you're talking about they all have the same limitation. There are lots of ways to deal with pressure from the powder you choose, primer, throat length, bullet type, and seating depth. None of them will make a case hold any more powder other than seating depth/overall length and any tricks you can play with one, you can play with the other. You're not going to make the 6.5x47 run with the .260 unless you are way overloading the first while under loading the second or by running a lighter bullet with the Lapua than the Remington. Same bullet same loading philosophy, same outcome, the .260 and the CM outrun the Lapua. [/QUOTE]
