[QUOTE="BEEMAN, post: 1219772, member: 38130"] I would suggest a 6.5X47. But as suggested I would limit it to deer size game. Like you said in your first post the numbers are so close between a 6.5X47, 6.5CM and the 260. I am always surprised how the 6.5X47 gets left out of conversations that involve the 260 and 6.5CM. The X47 has excellent lapua brass which is super strong and lasts forever. The X47 is also inherently accurate. My RBROS 6.5X47 is fast becoming one of my favorite rifles. Recoil is almost non existent and drives a 130 berger at just under 3000 fps with 42.2 gr of H4350. All depends what you want to do. When I want to step things up I can grab my 6.5 Sherman and shoot 140's up to 3300 fps. Tough decision to make but I really don't think you can go wrong with any of the above. [/QUOTE]
