In my opinion they are both great cartridges,the 6br is one of my favorites for targets,varmints,and steel out to 1k.I have 4 of them!!That being said the 6.5x47 lapua give's you the opportunity to shoot much heavier bullets! Either one is a great choice if you are not shooting big critter's to...

+ 1 on the 8 twist

Are those scopes bottlecap models? You can put a stoney point 1/4 moa knob on it midway part#899-510 or send it(6.5-20) to Leupold and have a target turret installed and a custom dial to match your load,I think mine cost me $140.00. Hope this helps. Dave

Why did you decide on a 5R barrel? Every one I have worked with I could not get nearly as much velocity as I could with a 4 groove krieger. Just wondering. dave

Sorry it took me so long to reply,Iwas out of town for the Gateway dynamite shoot which was a blast by the way! The reason I am using mag primers is the fact that they have a harder cup than most and let's face the fact that many post model 70 winchester's have large fireing pins with sloppy...

In reloading the 6.5-06 I have found that forming brass out of 25-06 winchester brass is the way to go. You will find that necking down leads to thick necks and way to much neck tension at the least.If it is a tight necked chamber you will expierience higher pressure than you should.There is...

Your ten twist barrel will stabalize the hornady 100gr round nose just fine and it will perform well on deer.I am assuming you are not shooting at extreme range.

Don't count out reloader 22 either as it works well in the 6.5-06 as well!

I have tested the 140 A-MAX on 1 antelope @319yds and 2 mule deer. Both deer shot at 325-380yds.1and done. The 6.5-06 is a wonderful cartridge in my humble opinion and also very easily and cheaply made! The only downfall is barrel life that is common to putting large amounts of powder down a...

"enter me in the berger bullets contest"

My 6.5-06 shoots best at 2950fps using 140 A-max and H4831sc.Shoots in the low.3's. Hope this helps.

the 6mmbr cartridge in my opinion is capable of duplicating the .243win factory loads using lapua brass and good components.I have killed numerous elk with the .243win and it has performed perfectly with proper shot placement.The 6mmbr loaded with varget and 95gr bergers will do the same:) What...
