Best 6.5 mm for hunting?

[slickyboyboo]

Depending on your intended bullet weight hard to beat the 6.5-284 for 127lrx or 140 accubond and vld. But if your looking to run some heavy bullets the 6.5 wsm is awesome with the 156 eol. I have both and a 6.5-06 they are all super on deer. The wsm is starting to be my favorite as it is built on a customized kimber montana light fast and accurate.

Short Action doesn’t jive with the 6.5x284 or the 6.5-06.

Then wsm is the easy choice

You can get a 6.5-284 to work in a short action. Done it. Just loose some performance with the shorter coal

Factory dies commonly available. Brass that is head stamp correct available or just form from 270wsm brass. Short action easley compatible, with speed equal to most of the long action chamberings . But still a true wildcat that most don't have or even heard of.

Lightweight rifle and not planning on a brake, so I would like to keep the recoil down.

The Montana is about as light as they come my 12 year old shoots it just fine with no brake. Good luck

Decided to stick with a 6.5x47L. I think it will be perfect for what I am wanting in a LW rifle.

Curious as to why not the 6.5CM?

Just guessing but probably doesn’t have a man-bun or drive a Volkswagen

Build a 260 or better yet a 260AI and go slay stuff.
This dink was just shy of 500yds and a well placed pill from an accurate 260 put him to sleep

I settled on the 6.5x47L.

What is better about the x47 over a vanilla 6.5CM???
Chamber designation??

It’s much easier to tune a load to. It’s almost effortless. Not so much with the Needmore.

6.5 in a short action doesn't leave you a lot especially if your banning the Golden child CM ( I love the CM ) . Had a 6.5/284 built on an old 270 action and it does awesome
