[QUOTE="Lonewolf74, post: 2147705, member: 96274"] Thank you all for all the opinions and feedback. Lots to consider! First I knew 2900 fps + was not reasonable for a creed or 6.5x47 with the 156 EOL but if it can push the 156 to 2750-2800 I think that would be more then adequate. After thinking about it and being realistic with myself if there was any task at hand that I questioned the 6.5 being inadequate I would just step up to my 300 win mag or 338 Norma. So there’s really no need for me to have any “magnum” 6.5 performance anyway. I do have plenty of respect for the 6.5x284 and appreciate that recommendation too. The only reason I did not really consider it to begin with is knowing I would need a long action to accommodate the long heavy for class bullets. I think ultimately my choice is going to be between the 6.5 creedmore and 6.5x47...6.5x47 has a slight edge just for the fact that I like to be a little different then the masses! [/QUOTE]
