[QUOTE="Bstick, post: 1645297, member: 72460"] While I am not a 6.5 CM fan, what you said is in accurate. The 6.5 CM is a far more efficient case design vs the 260. It allows for longer bullets to be seated and not worrying about mag length. The 6.5 CM is also limited to bullets do to velocity and BC loss. The 120-140 class bullets perform well in the CM. To get optimal performance with the 260 and longer bullets, it needs to be ran on a medium action or single fed in a short action. The 6.5 CM beats the x47L out in velocities. The x47L was designed to run the 100-130 class bullets but a lot of us run the 140s at decent velocities. The x47L is inherently more accurate and easier to tune due to case design. The 6 CM is just that, a 6 CM. It doesn’t really do much that the 243 or 6x47L doesn’t do. It uses a touch less powder than the 243. It is also inherently more accurate than the 243. I personally run a 6 creed and a 6.5x47L in PRS matches. I’ve never jumped on the 6.5 CM bandwagon when it debuted in 2007-2008ish. It’s a great design just not what I want. I [/QUOTE]
