[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1281923, member: 41338"] I don't do competitions but those PRS dudes really like the '47 and now their moving into variants like the 6 x 47. For me, from a more pragmatic perspective, I just as soon get the extra barrel life out of the 6.5 though. I was at the range yesterday and had a 243 sporter rifle shooting 75 grain bullets and a 6.5x47 with a medium varmint barrel shooting 143 grain bullets. The '47 was noticeably tamer that the 243. Heavier rifle too but just say'in, it's a kitten to shoot. A truly well designed and pleasurable caliber to chamber a rifle in. A brake or suppressor I would imagine would make it so stable through the follow through that a person could in fact, easily spot their shots. I'm sure they could easily spot their shots without a brake but for now in the snow, I can't spot anything. I think all three are basically in the same conversation although I'd give the 260 and creedmoore a very slight edge in ballistics but far less advantage than a decent wind call. For me it is more a choice of pragmatics. Can you buy good brass? What is the anticipated brass life, barrel life, ease of feeding and extraction, flexibility in powder selection, reputation for finding accurate loads and recoil. I think to gain any more real ballistic advantage, your going to have to burn quite a bit more powder like an AI or a 6.5x284. [/QUOTE]
