6.5x47 vs Creedmoor

[DennisH]

All are Great Choices. I lean towards the 6.5x284, I have two of them. I also have two 6.5x47's, ALL are Tac Drivers.

I hunt with my 6.5x47. I went with a 23" barrel. If I were building a hunting rifle with a shorter barrel or using a shorter barrel for a suppressor, I would probably go with the CM. This is given that Lapua will now make CM brass and the fact that I would like to push a 120-130gr bullet at least close to 2800 fps for hunting. 2800fps out of the 6.5x47 with a 23" barrel is close to pushing it with 120-130gr bullets.
