[QUOTE="Dialing Long Distance, post: 2300124, member: 86692"] For 6.5 caliber short action, it’s hard to beat the 6.5x47 Lapua, I have one, and I’ve had a 260, and love that round also. I’d go with either one of those before the Creedmoor, I have a Creedmoor and like it, it’s accurate, but the Lapua is every bit as accurate with less powder, and the 260 is every bit as accurate and has more case capacity. Short action 7mm, the 284 or 7mm-08 would be solid choices I would think. The 7wsm is nice, but you’d need a magnum bolt face. For 6mm, I’ve heard very good things about the 6mmx47 Lapua also. Personally, I have a 243, and if I ever get that rebarreled, it’ll be a 243 again for sentimental reasons, but it will have a tighter twist barrel for the heavier bullets we have today. I’m old fashioned I guess, but for 6mm, I love that round. [/QUOTE]
