6x47 lapua

[Matt_3479]

Anyone shooting a 6x47 lapua? I'm collecting parts for a new 6mm build and have pretty much settled on the 6x47 lapua. Need a few more parts and it's good to go! What kind of velocity's are you getting with the 105 Bergers?

I'm getting 3075 with 39.5 grains of IMR 4451 and HBN coated Berger 105 hybrid's. I'm really happy with mine.

It's a pretty popular cartridge. There's tons of information available on them here. You can get 3150 out of a 105 with a 26" barrel.

Long throated 6x47l/.208 freebore, 43.1 grains H4831SC with hybrids and cci450's. 3125 fps with 105 hybrids in a 28". A little under 1100 rounds down the barrel now.

I'm running a rifle Jon Beanland built for me with a 26" Hawk Hill and getting 3060 using Varget. Load work-up was easy, yet difficult, as every group in the OCW was basically the same size, less than 0.5 MOA, and in the same location relative to POA, i.e. all the charge weights shot the same. I shot a second OCW with the same results and had to result to a ladder test to try and find a load. I ended up running loads over a chrono and picking one that was at a speed where many were having success and it's proven to be an outstanding performer. Enjoy your new build, it's a great caliber.
