    Have searched high/low here, Brownells/Sinclair, most of the usual suspects-anyone know where to dig up a modified case for Hornady OAL loaded length gauge for 6.5x47. Thanks for any leads.

    Just send a spent case to Hornady and they will drill and tap the case for you. You'll need to include a return envelope with postage. I got mine back in less that 2 weeks.

    You will have a modified case that is custom formed to your chamber.

    must be 5/16-32, as an industry drill/tap chart i've got open right now shows 5/16-18/24/32-no 36, unless it's a proprietary thread. anyone care to throw in?

    aha.. could not find 5/16x36 but that translates to #8x36
