[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 650993, member: 4686"] I shoot both 260 Rem and two 6.5x47's and I have no idea what "lrp" is? Depending on the powder and bullet, I get up to 2950 with 140 VLD's with 24.5" of Broughton barrel, in 6.5x47. The 6.5CM was built to run higher pressure than the 260 Rem. I agree with that statement. Well, the 6.5x47 was built to run higher pressures than either. With a good chamber, minimal brass sizing, the brass, with it's small rifle primer pocket, the -47 will handle stuff in the 70k psi range and laugh at it. Now, if Lapua ever decides to make 6.5CM brass, oooooohh. Watch out! Love the fact that Lapua is making 260 brass. It's just that that dang shoulder likes to grow necks and I HATE trimming necks. After 10 or so firings in one rifle and 14 in the other, I've got a few pieces of brass that are "finally" within .001" of my max trim length. Alan [/QUOTE]
