I pulled the trigger and got a 243 barrel not long after this post in 2022, bit of a thread revival here. Mate of mine shot one deer with it and now looks like it'll be turned into a 6.5x55 :XD:

Why the change, 6mm 6mm 6mm now jumping up to 6.5??
Just an itch for something differance or a feeling that you want a larger margin of error for novice shooters (while still easy to shoot) and don't want to follow the crowd to 6.5cm?

Just itching for scratching I think, I was given a 6.5x55 barrel so I'll screw it on and see where it goes. If I had a creedmoor barrel I'd screw that on instead :XD:Quote:

As a 6.5x47 fan in late 80sbefore creedmoor 6.5 remington etc was available , stick to standardize calibres
Easier to get brass
Projjies etc forming brass is a pita
Not worth the hazzle go std calibres
For like 100fps or .1 better groups - the animal doesn't care , time wasted in load development is time wasted on meat
