[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1260907, member: 38130"] Yeah not sure what has changed. I asked Travis about which one he would go with and he recommended the 6.5X47. Personally I could not be happier. He did tell me that depending on barrels speed could differ up to about 40 fps. Said when I got mine it should be around 2925-2950 fps and settle in very close to 3000 fps after 100-200 rounds and that is exactly what my gun did. I guess when I said it will do what the 260 and Creed will do I meant that they are so close it makes very little difference. What's another click or two on the scope. That is a good link you posted and they are only 75 fps apart which to me is nothing. I still can't believe the speed I get with my X47 every time I look at that little case. To me it is very impressive. I run 42.2 gr of H4350. My 6.5 Sherman takes 63-64 gr of N570 to make 3339 fps with a 140 Berger with a 28" barrel. 22 more grains of powder to push a 10 gr heavier bullet 300 fps. Sounds in line to me. I do think if Lapua comes out with brass and a small primer it will really step up the Creedmore. I do agree lots of us do run over pressure without knowing it. I am sure my Sherman is over pressure but is right in line with what velocities other guys are getting. It is not far off a 26 Nosler or the 264 WM. Maybe it shouldn't be either??? [/QUOTE]
