[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1715688, member: 10291"] I really like 6.5x47, owning a few that are used primarily for competition, shooting high volumes, and shot very hot during the summer months. I began with the 260 Remington years ago, and gave the 6.5CM a try for a couple of years. All three are capable of exceptional accuracy, and unless packing them to the hilt with very slow burning powders, are very close in velocity. The appeal for the 6.5x47 is the shorter, high efficiency case that is IMO, superbly designed. Just about every bullet/load run through it produces benchrest-level performance. A box of 100pc Lapua will easily last the life of the barrel (2500-3000 rds), and still hold accuracy, run-outs <.002”, and single digit ES. While I would have no issue using the 6.5x47(or 260, 6.5CM) for medium game to 700 yards or so, I have never bothered, given the very noticeable ballistic advantage, and success I have experienced with my 6.5x284’s.
