I've been doing some reading on these two fine calibers for a varmint rifle, and it would seem that both are very accurate, very flexible in terms of bullet weight selection, and very effective at 600m (the range which I would like to base my next varmint rifle on). The issue I am stumbling on however, is there are those who would say that the 6.5x47 lacks the performance (compared to the 6mmbr) under 300m, and conversely that the 6mmbr should not be depended on to perform to the standards of the 6.5x47 from 500m and beyond. Of course there are many articles/posts/etc which contradict each other left right and center; but I would like to hear some thoughts/opinions/etc from those with real world experience who have an educated opinion on one or both of these calibers.
