[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 988942, member: 59541"] I have narrowed my new build choices to the 6.5x47 Lapua or the 6.5 Super LR. The rifle will be built on a Rem 700 SA with a 24" barrel. I want to keep it around 8 lbs and it will be used for deer out to 500 yards. I know there are numerous other calibers to choose from but these are the two that I would like to discuss. I have larger and smaller caliber rifles so this is just something fun to fill in a niche. The 6.5x47 Lapua is just inherently accurate, Lapua brass is available, small rifle primer and can push 130 grain bullets to 3000 fps. The 6.5 Super LR appears to be the best of all 6.5mm calibers wrapped up into one. Brass can be formed from .243 or .260 brass and has more volume than the 6.5x47. I am leaning towards the Lapua but the Super LR peaked my interest. I would like to get feedback from anyone that has used both or either caliber. Thanks in advance. [/QUOTE]
