^^^^You could start a thread just on this one post right here.An accuracy node is directly related to barrel length, if the CM and x47 have the same barrel length then the accuracy node will be the same.
However, two barrels the same length, same caliber, same bullet may have different charge weights. One bullet may have a different acceleration rate but have the same exit velocity. So one may arrive at the muzzle quicker than the other but both exit at the same velocity.

Hi!
I wonder if anyone has experience reloading BOTH 6.5x47 Lapua and 6.5 Creedmoor. Lapua is known for wide accuracy nodes, Creedmoor has more velocity - wonder if Creedmoor is as easy to reload as Lapua in regards of accuracy and node widths.
Do you think that is that because of inertia or because the 6.5L is better than the 6.5CM?I see 6.5x47 at LR events
Creedmoor not so much
That is a fair question. I'm sticking with the 260 Rem because I have all the reloading gear including enough Lapua brass to wear out a couple of more barrels. If I were starting from scratch I'd likely go with one of the new kids.Do you think that is that because of inertia or because the 6.5L is better than the 6.5CM?
If I was already set up with a rifle, barrel, reamer, brass, bullets, powder, primers, dies, load data, etc. for one cartridge and another cartridge comes along that is very similar, I'd think long and hard before giving up on my existing gear for a potentially marginal improvement.
Lapua brass a "smokescreen"?????.. Really? LoLlapua brass, that is just a smoke screen
The 6.5 Creedmoor was originally designed for highpower course shooting.The 6,5x47 L was developed by Lapua and G+E, specifically for inherent accuracy, and good barrel life. For use in 300m CISM etc.
And is pretty much an upscaled dasher.
The 6,5 CM was ¨develpoed¨ to run 130-140 gr 6,5 bullets in a SA AI mag with maximun speed, without length restriction for prs competition , pretty much.
They both do well, one is widely used for its inherent accuracy BR,F class, an several other competitions, and holds plenty of records.
The other is super popular, and has loads of factory ammunition available, while it delivers a bit more speed.
They're both good designs, for what they was made for pick whatever suits you.
No flame here. Just sadness, tears, and hurt feelings.The Lapua holds records, the Creedmoor is the Wal-Mart equivalent. Flame suit on, let me have It!!
