I plan to be very happy if I can get 140gr up to 2800fps in my 6.5x47. I won't be using that powder.

Good deal LR. All of the 6.5 options are great to have. My brother-in-law wanted to get into long range shooting, and since he does not load I suggested 6.5CM; using the "economical" Hornady match it shoots well. I just finished prepping 165 6.5x47 brass, and I just may have to push the charge to regain the championship!

LOL...ive shot them faster but no accuracy...the CM is a great round if you do or don't reload...a few guys shooting them at our matches with factory 140g amax ammo and do well.

Factory ammo shoots right at 2800 with a 26 in barrel in both my Savage LRP and Stiller/Bartlien.

I vote the 260 AI. I have run several is Savage short actions and when the bullet is seated .025 from the lands there is still plenty of room in the mag. Brass life is excellent and little to no trimming needed. Velocities similar to 6.5-284 with standard 260 powder charges. Gotta love it. Also Remington and Nosler also make 260 brass as well as Lapua.
