6.5 mm battle
how does the 6.5 x 47 lapua stack up against 6.5 swede against a .260 rem. The 6.5 bullets in wieghts of 130 gr + are long, have high sd and good bc. so which round is best.
the swede has moderate velocity, it is a tried and tested platform all componants are on the shelf. but it has a non .30-06 evolved case so the bolt face is different?
.260 rem is a new round, based on the .308 case so is a short actioned rifle that uses almost the standard action and bolt. seems to have good velocities.
6.5 x 47 is also a new round, short actioned. Is this also based on a .308 case? I don't think so because i believe it uses small rifle primers. I can't find any data for it. whats it like?
From what i can gather all 3 look good. the swede appears to be behind the others on speed. but it is a proven performer. maybe one of the others are better because you can rebarrell a .308, 243, 7mm08 to the calibre?
what do we think? or all as good as each other?
