[QUOTE="John McNab, post: 495486, member: 33009"] I have tested the 6.5x47 in a custom lightweight model 7 with Krieger 1 in 8.5 twist barrel with 140 gn Amax over 39gns of ADi2209 (H4350 to Americans) at 2600fps muzzle and can report that the field results from 20 to 350m on fallow deer and wild pig are equivalent to the 270 Winchester 130 gn BTs at 2900. No bullet cores have have been recovered only jacket fragments at any of the above ranges. In spite of Hornady advising against using amax for hunting they have performed superbly in the field. Accuracy from the model 7 is sub 0.5MOA with either vthe 120,123 or 140 amax. Experiance to date indicates the catridge is suitable for anything you'd use a 270 for. [/QUOTE]
