600 yd BENCHREST bigger than 6 smaller than a 300wsm

I love the little 6.5x47L. Easy to tune, and consistent. Low recoil and accurate. H4350 or Varget with 140 grain pills. Brass lasts forever and it doesn’t eat much powder. A little better in the wind than the 6mm’s. Not as accurate as my BRA’s but not far behind.

Just my slightly biased opinion.

6.5x47 lapua comes to mind

not to be rude, have you seen it win ??

You personally saw a 6.5x47 win at the IBS 1000 Nats a few weeks ago...

If I was forced to pick something in between it would be a 6.5x47. But I think theres a reason you see that gap. The 6 and the 30 just seem to rise to the top. Occasionally you do see a very good 6.5 though.

The .284, or .284 Shehane, fit the bill. Great ballistic, very precise.

280 is accurate. A club member and match director won consistently with one @St. Louis during 08-09 seasons
