[QUOTE="Oliveralan, post: 473023, member: 20245"] 6.5x47 lapua is definetely a short action cartridge. The 284 win was orginially also developed as a short action cartridge. If this is an antelop hunting rifle, the shots can be long, and there is almost always wind to acompany the antelope. So I would go with a fast caliber and forget barrel life. A 6.5-284 will go a conservative 1000rnds of competition life. That means fast strings of fire and extreme accuracy. Unless your shooting hundreds of antelope a year at 800+ yards, you won't notice it for at least 1400rnds. A 6.5-284 will serve you very well, as would a 264 win mag, 7 wsm, or for better bbl life (and slighty lower max velocity) the 6.5x55 swede. In a modern action with lapua brass, a very formidable cartridge. [/QUOTE]
