How different is the .264 USA and the 6.5x47 Lapua? I've been hunting for several years with the Lapua. I like it a lot.

I also have a 6.5Grendel. I'm very impressed with the 6.5 rounds.

Sure. The 6.5 offers great BC and sectional density. The 140gr 6.5x55 punches way above its weight class.

It’s hard finding any specifications to compare 6.5 Lapua to .264 USA. From what I did see it looks like .264 USA won’t have as much muzzle velocity out of the same length barrel. If I had the money to get into F class long range shooting 6.5 Lapua would be on the short list.
