[QUOTE="Jrigby, post: 415095, member: 19311"] I went with the 6.5x47 due to being able to purchase Lapua brass and no need to make it out of other brass. Speads are fair, no were near as fast as my 6.5x284, but just as accurate. Recoil is lighter compared to 308 and fits in short actions nicely.The last shoot I was at there were 10 people and 8 were using 308 and 2 of my 6.5x47. We engaged half silhouett targets at unkown distance out to 970ish. They seem to shine even though we had winds gusting up to 15 mph. When the day ended we sat around and compared wind and Dop. I was amazed how much more wind adjustment the 308 guys were having to use over the 6.5. when I burn this one out, I definitely build another 6.5x47 or if Lapua starts making 260 brass I take a harder look at it. both are great calibers.
