[QUOTE="Garycrow, post: 1079709, member: 30743"] I have two 6.5x47 Lapuas now, one's a lightweight hunting rifle built off a borden alpine action and the other is a remington short action in an A5 stock. Both wear bartlein 5R barrels, 8 twist M24 profile on the remington & 8.5 twist #2 on the borden. I love the round, really easy to tune and shoot. Any velocity it gives up to a 260 is minimal and the shorter case solves any magazine constraint issues with the long 6.5 heavyweight bullets. The big problem with the 260 is magazine constraint issues unless you go to a wyatt's box or AICS magazines. The 6.5 creedmoor is a better case design than the 260 but no Lapua brass for it. The 6.5x47L is the best of the bunch but you give up a tiny bit of velocity. That's no big deal to me because it's so easy to make shoot, it's like a big 6BR. [/QUOTE]
