1967spud Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Has anybody got real time exsperience with this round as i am wondering if it would compare for a 500- 600 yard round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taylor Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i would go 6.5x47 lap it will do the same job ,thats next on my list for a up to 800yd rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 i was toying with greant and after finding some reading on it , it doesnt appear to have the velocities i can get with either the 47 or even another 284 both in 6.5, ill just wait 1 while i see if anybody else has actually got one .

1967spud Posted May 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Another consideration would be a super lr but in 6.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 I am pretty sure that TC owns and shoots a 6.5 nem and forms his brass from the 6.5x47. The 47 seems the simple option IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John MH Posted May 22, 2011 Report Share Posted May 22, 2011 Another consideration would be a super lr but in 6.5 I know a couple of chaps who were running 6.5mm Nemasis that have now both rechambered to .260AI, exactly why I don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elwood Posted May 23, 2011 Report Share Posted May 23, 2011 6mm SLR Mark. 115 Dtacs are cheap and very accurate and the SLR has a supposedly good barrel life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ronin Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 I think the 6.5 "Nemasis" was a reasonable idea, but it does not meet what the 6.5x47 lapua, 260 Rem / 260AI does. Nothing ive seen posted about the cartridge would inspire me to have one. Speaks volumes that two who had them, have now changed calibres....... The 260AI is a very good performer - possibly a better all rounder than the 6.5x47 in terms of bullet felxibility... There are numerous downsides of running such a nieche market calibre - the most obvious being case forming, having to have custom dies made and come sell time, limited appeal. Added to that it isnt a mainstream target round, this also lessens the attraction somewhat........imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 6.5-47 improved it is then for my next project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1967spud Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hiya Mark, Isn't 600yds the perfect 6mmbr range??? I think if I wanted to shoot at 600yds I would go to the tried and tested 6mmbr. True ronny but i want some thing different away from the crowds like Elwood did with his Crusader Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwood Posted May 24, 2011 Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 True ronny but i want some thing different away from the crowds like Elwood did with his Crusader Have a look into the .257 Roberts AI Mark. 7x57 Mauser, necked down to 6.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted May 26, 2011 Report Share Posted May 26, 2011 Watched a 257AI on small targets out to about 220 yards a few weeks ago, impressive round for sure. A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
