[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 895889, member: 1521"] Like a 243, the 6.5CM uses the 06 parent case. It holds ~2.5gr less capacity than a 260, which still leads to use of lighter ~130gr bullets. The 6.5CM is a good cartridge, but I would choose the 6.5x47L over it, because it holds a better capacity for lighter bullets, and can be run at higher pressures(due to small primer pocket). You won't reach your goal stated, with any reliable accuracy, from 260 and below capacities. "140 grain bullet going at 2950-3000 would be ideal" = 260AI (at least) [/QUOTE]
