[QUOTE="mitch260, post: 966355, member: 53720"] It really depends on what you are going to use the rifle for. A 6.5x47 will drive 130 vld's at 2800 fps out of a 20" barrel, and the 140's at 2740-2750 fps. All with RL-17. A 26" barrel would get you over 3000 fps with the 130's and just under 2900 with the 140's, at the cost of of weight and maneuverability. [/QUOTE]
