[QUOTE="lovdasnow, post: 287398, member: 5082"] I'd like a little more speed than the .308 with higher BC bullets that i feel the 6x47(or 6.5x47) will offer. I may be way off, but i think i could shoot a lot higher bc bullet at a faster speed with decent barrel life out of the lapuas. I think i would burn out a barrel a lot faster than normal in a 308 shooting 155's to around 3k fps, and still not have the BC's the 6-6.5 bullets offer. please, let me know if i'm way off. so, i guess i don't understand why the 6.5 would be better, i guess i need to read more about it. does it have something to do with less overbore? what would be the optimal barrel lengths for the 6x47 and the 6.5x47? I'll keep reading about these lapuas, and maybe expand my search a bit. i'll look into the 6.5 a bit more. any other advise while i'm researching? thanks a lot guys [/QUOTE]
