Re: 6.5X47 or .260 Remington
<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: Blackops_2</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I would have a hard time choosing between the 2. But i finally found my favorite 6.5mm cartridge and thats the 6.5Lr which is better than the creedmoore, lapua, and .260 remington IMO. Because it can damn near do what the 6.5-.284 will do but in a short action, where as most 6.5-284s are in long actions, or i haven't seen one in a short action yet. The 6.5Lr is pretty much like a oversized 6.5x47 lapua.
<span style="font-weight: bold">Attributes of the 6.5 Super LR:</span>
- Top powder capacity for top velocity
- Long Neck
- Competition Proven 30 Degree Shoulder Angle
- Excellent Base Brass Available
- Very Easy To Make
- No Neck Turning or Initial Trimming Required

Coming into this thread I would have gone with the 6.5 Creedmoor, but that just changed my mind.
Also, can we please put up a "which 6.5mm is best" sticky? The answer seems to be in the neighborhood of "throw a dart blindfolded and whatever you end up with will be fine."
