[QUOTE="Buck Fever, post: 1890542, member: 113501"] With Lapua making 6.5 Creedmoor brass and it being a civilian chambering that is probably more legal in some areas, I'm surprised that it isn't at least known if not becoming popular. A friend of mine just figured it out after I've been shooting 6.5 Creedmoor at 1,000 yards for 5-6 years, he finally bought a barrel to try. Before that he bought an expensive Steyr SSG Carbon in .308, tried shooting 168 grain FGMM and had a bunch of issues getting on paper. It's simple math, more velocity and more ballistic coefficient with accuracy on top equals easy 1,000 yard shooting with light recoil and even good on game with the right bullets. Some people just don't believe it. On the other hand some people see 6.5*47 Lapua and instantly dismiss anything that doesn't say Lapua but they dont realize the additional case capacity actually does some good stuff. At least you get to be in the know for a while. [/QUOTE]
