[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 334176, member: 1521"] On the 6.5x47L; Whenever someone suggests you can do as much with less as more, you should first consider them ignorant, then anything you like. Nothing is free. A 6.5x47L has significantly less capacity than a 260(+5gr), a 6.5x55(+5gr Lapua), and way less than a 6.5/284(+20gr Lapua). It therefore cannot match their loads to potential. So when someone says they can get 260 velocities from a smaller 6.5x47L, they are FOS, because whatever you can do to one, you can do with the other. And that includes running extreme pressures, and light bullets.. It might provide your barrel life goal. However, the reason most shooters using the 6.5x47L neck down to 6mm, is to IMPROVE it's potential. The case in form is disadvantaged in that it gives up the entire advantage of 26cal. Ok, rant off Sorry [/QUOTE]
