That is very true. What I meant to go on to say is that reports suggest that despite a smaller case capacity, the long range performance if the 6.5x47 is virtually indistinguishable from the 260 but has the substantial advantage of burning less powder and using small match rifle primers (albeit not always an advantage in all types of rifle). I'll try and dig out a report that I kept somewhere comparing the two cartridges and post at some point.
