Re: 6.5x47 Lapua, need a good smith...
for the 1-8.5 twist that you have, 130's are about as heavy as you want to go. The 1-8.5 is better for lighter bullets and shorter ranges. A 1-8 twist is better for 140's and heavier bullets for longer ranges.
In regards to a gunsmith, I would prefer to use one it close to me, and that I am going to use on a regular basis.
Tuna,
you are going to have to stop posting pictures of that 6.4X47L now that you have sold it. Every time I see it, I kick myself for not buying it from you.
