243 vs. 6x47 Lapua

[6.5BR]

Wondering if anyone has compared them in use?

243 or 243AI vs. the 6mm/6.5x47L

Bore life, accuracy, performance, ease of load work.

Assume fast twist bbls in each. Thanks.

Re: 243 vs. 6x47 Lapua

i have shot both 243ai and 6x47, both are great cartridges but i am sticking with the 6x47 as my current match rifle. alittle slower but brass is good, its accurate, and virtually no recoil. load any of the 3 up with some h4350 and 105grain and larger bullets and you will find a load for any of the 3 pretty easy. honestly if i could have gotten it to feed 100% reliable i would have used the 6mm dasher it is unbelievably accurate and not much slower, by far the easiest to find a load for.

I have had a few 6BRs, fed fine. Maybe Dasher's are more problematic. Thanks.

How much slower are the others than the 234 ai ?
