[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 203969, member: 8843"] Haven't been able to compair heads up the 6.5x47 Lapua to the 260 , I have a couiple 260's and use 308 Lapua brass to make my cases ,if you wanting to shoot the 140 class bullets real fast out of a short action then I'd suggest the 260 or the 260 Ackley as the added capacity with a 28+" barrel will do that but if your not worried about an extra 100-150fps then the 6.5x47 Lapua would be my choice. 1) its a good big shorter and that will allow you to feed from a mag much easier without alot of trouble and the need for an extended mag box 2) Less powder will not wear the bore as fast so it should get a decient amount longer barrel life 3) Lapua brass ready to shoot right out of the box BUT the Lapua brass for the 6.5x47Lapua is almost twice the cost of 308 Lapua for the 260 and if you even "need" that extra FPS the 260 will be more likely to give it to you But with the new Berger 130gr bullets I'd certainly build a 6.5x47 Lapua without hesitation [/QUOTE]
