Thread: . 260 or 6.5 Creedmoor for a Model 7 build

Nothing against Creedmoor but I would go for 6.5x47 if it were me. One of the factors often quoted in the .260 vs Creedmoor debate is that the Creed case is shorter. If that’s important, the 6.5x47 is shorter than the Creedmoor. Better brass, small rifle primers and higher pressures. It was also specifically designed as a match cartridge, just like the Creedmoor, so can do everything the Creedmoor can.

That said, if running factory ammo the Creedmoor wins every time.
