[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2275931, member: 115658"] I have: 6.5X47 Lapua (shoots good with anything), 6.5-.308 (pre .260), 6.5X55 (odd ball), & 6.5-06. In the present component emergency the 6.5-06 is easily supplied with brass. The extra 1/2 inch of action length, and brass having skinny body with slopey shoulders is of little concern. One of my 6.5-06 rifles was designed over 120 years ago, a FN Mauser. I usually find enough .270W & .30-06 range brass during & after each hunting season to keep me shooting the rest of the year & after sorting, inspection, and prep work including annealing I am set to go. A great variety of bullets & I like 120 ELDM's for rodents, 130 ELDM's & a variety of Berger VLD's for everything else. Right now I am into 8 lbs of VN165 powder and just acquired 1,000 CCI 200's. Barrel life not so good. [/QUOTE]
