[QUOTE=".300 Dakota, post: 1623053, member: 106514"] I like the 6.5x47 L vs the 260, 6.5x55, and Creedmoor. Owned all 4. Issue is brass. Lapua brass is the best, but also the most expensive. The 6.5x284, .264 Win Mag, PRC, and SAUM and other wildcats based on the 30-06 or WSM cases are a whole 'nuther set of wheels. I've owned multiple 6.5x284s and have a custom PRC now. Never had a 6.5 SAUM, but did plenty of work with a .300, 7mm, .257, and 6mm version. Love the SAUM above all else, but the detractors crying about the brass are unfortunately correct. I like the PRC. The .264's neck is just too short to seat the long bullets without sacrificing case capacity. Let's not even bring 26 Nosler or 6.5x300 Wby into this discussion. I owned the latter...and it was a BLAST! (Pun intended!) [/QUOTE]
