[QUOTE="Azprc, post: 978239, member: 38684"] As per barrel life, I just got 4800 rounds out of my 6.5x47L before my first set back. That is 130 gr Jlk's at 3005 fps out of 29". I know the barrel is long for your combo but it is what I currently run. Shot 1/2 moa at 4800 rounds and gun normally shot 1/4 moa. Set back so far has been in the 0's. Plus brass lasts 15+ reloads and it uses a couple grains less powder than the 260 or 6.5 Creedmor with same bullet weight and velocity. If not doing 47L, I would do the 6.5 cm long before the 260 for brass life and throat life. Nothing wrong with the 260, there is just better stuff out there and most people don't like anything tied to lapua, not sure why, they just don't. [/QUOTE]
