[QUOTE="Deleted member 46119, post: 1029189"] Just so you are aware and you probably already know. You are giving up so much with that barrel length requirement. Of the 2 you list, I would go with 6.5CM because of slightly less powder capacity will be more 'efficient' in a shorter barrel. IIWM: I would go for a 6.5SS or 6.5x47L. The reasoning behind it is simple: the sort barrel won't allow the use of more powder capacity anyway. Explanation: With the "308" based designs, that is the 260, 6.5CM or 6.5x47L, with the short barrel you are looking at a MV of ~2600fps or lower. With the 6.5SS, because of the greater chamber pressure, you can take that up to ~2850. I hope this helps your decision process. Have fun and please give us updates on where you go with it. [/QUOTE]
