Thread: 6.5x47 Short Barrel Data enquiry

I have had a 260 Rem and now 6.5x47L and 243 Win. I can't see any reason to go from the larger to smaller case (if it's a hunting rifler) unless you have mag length limitaions. It would be like taking your foot off the gas. With a shorter barrel you want to start with a bigger bang to make up for you lack of barrel length. My go to for the 6.5x47L is AR2208. Shorter barrel = less velocity. There is nothing wrong with the 260 Rem it's the mans 6.5 Creedmoor.
