[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 792026, member: 1521"] IMO the 6.5x47 is a mid-range competition cartridge(a **** good one). It won't stand ground against long-range competition cartridges like a 6Dasher, and there has been a lot of 1kyd success in 6br norma. Same with the 6.5CM (also designed for mid-range). A 6x47L would beat a 6.5x47L at 1kyd, by the numbers(again IMO). It comes down to bullets of coarse, BC at velocity at recoil, all else equal. Somebody's gonna claim they do so well at 1kyd with a 6.5x47L, but someone could also claim this in ANY mid to large cartridge. These claims are merely anomolies until proven otherwise, and that don't happen overnight. There have been numerous declarations over the years that the 6PPC is the most accurate cartridge. This becomes laughably false when qualified by ranges, and ACCURACY -vs- PRECISION. I wouldnt want to put a 6.5x47L against a 6PPC at 100yds, anymore than I'd care to put a 6PPC against a 6br at 600yds. And at 600yd my money would go with a 6.5x47 over either, and at 1kyd, a 6br over a 6.5x47L. Range changes everything, because results with are less and less to do with precision. [/QUOTE]
