Makes no sense except for maybe superior Lapua brass but that would not be enough for me to choose it.



That is the only reason I have ever been given. You can get Norma .260 brass. I think that should do away with that argument.



brass doesn't have to say Norma to be good brass..

I do just fine necking down Rem 308 nickel brass or Winchester 7/08 and 308 brass for my 260s..

6.5 x 47 is just trying to reinvent the wheel, when compared to a 260..

so for short action, my pick would be the 260 of course..

long action, my favorite is the rare, 6.5 x 57... just because so few folks shoot it, but all you do is neck up 257 Roberts brass and you are good to go..
