[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 966593, member: 1521"] I believe the cartridge was designed for 123gr bullets and ~500-600yd competition. Excellent design for that. I would run 130gr bullets pretty much as CPGfan is, with at least 26" of barrel. 6.5x47L can run only the lower 2850 node(barely) in 139-142gr bullets, which is very accurate. But it's hard on brass & gives up a lot to bigger 26cal cartridges pushing these bullets further out from ~3000fps. I see it as a fad in 1kyd comp, which should fade to 260AI(and no bigger). Otherwise, 6Dasher will continue to thrash 26cal. Just my view on it, I don't have one. I run a 26wssm & 139LAPs from a 28" barrel at 3025fps. [/QUOTE]
