Why 6.5x47 vs other 6.5’s

Do you have any Grey Poupon?

Why yes, yes I do

The only advantage that 6.5 Creedmoor has is factory ammo. If your going to load your own, then pick one. I have a 6.5x47L and two 260 Rem. Two of them are single load target rifles that easily shoot high master scores. One 260 is a hunting rifle that shoots great with a mag length jump.

Agreed.

When I decided to build a target gun, I chose .260 simply because of the ability to source plentiful & cheap brass (Federal .308 was my initial choice to start ).

There are several choices for match ammunition, should you go the 6.5CM route. I had already committed myself to load developing my own loads, so it was a wash for me, and came down to pure economics at that moment.

Many short range BR shooters say that the reason the PPC case does so well is because he case capacity is just right to burn all the powder while the bullet is in the barrel and not create trubulance and not up set the bullet flight as it leaves the crown. This could be why more like the 6.5-47.
