[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 457573, member: 7999"] I have a 6.5 Dasher. Which is the improved version of the 6.5x47. Mind you that the improved is very little. It will run the 130g Scirrocco over 3000fps with out any trouble. At 3000 ft elevation you are able to hold 1800fps out to 900 yrds. I do not give any credence to the ft lbs of energy. Bullet construction and sectional density along with the weight retention are what matter. You can take this info and use it how you like. I am not saying that you should use it to shoot elk at 900 yards. (no ****ing matches needed) I will give my .02. Run the 6.5x47 dasher or not, and don't look back. It will function well in the short action and not give up anything to the .260, while using less powder. If your rifle will shoot the Swift well, I think this bullet is unbeatable. Have fun with it, Steve [/QUOTE]
