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.

I have NO experience reloading any of these, YET..

But the article I read stated that the 6.5 Lapua had a longer neck than the .260 and therefore did not take as much case capacity for the longer bullets as in the case of the .260 Rem...

Is that correct???
