[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1473544, member: 10291"] I have put many 1000’s of rounds through the 6.5’s for many years for hunting, competition, and simply banging various targets at long range. My attraction to the 6.5 began with the 260 which has served me exceptionally well in all of the disciplines. Of late, between my various 6.5’s, for targets/competition, the 6.5x47 Lapua has won my heart. I really like the case design/Lapua Brass, still looking like new with 15+ reloads, no annealing, and still exceptionally accurate, holding 1’s and 2’s with single digit ES. Add long range hunting beyond 600-700 yards,the ‘47’s big brother, the 6.5x284 steps in. Driving a 140 gr VLD at 3000FPS, it has a nice balance of match grade accuracy, ballistic performance, and low recoil, with “no fuss” reloading. IMO. [/QUOTE]
