I need advice to reload 6.5X47 Lapua

[ledmach11969]

I just got my self a 6.5X47 Lapua Custom rifle, and I wanted to start reloading my own ammo. I need an advice what to buy and not to buy and what I need to do to keep up with accuracy.

I was thinking of buying the midwayusa

Redding Type S Match Bushing 3-Die Neck Sizer Set 6.5x47mm Lapua


What else beside this do I need to get to specs of the cartidge?

Do I need to resize and recut the neck of the case, do I also need to slim cut the side wall of the neck. Im confuse that what some friend told me, I rather have a professional shooter and experience reloader tell me how to do it. Thank you for any advice you give me.

My 6.5x47 L drives tacks, I love it. I use a Redding Bushing style FL die and a wilson chamber type seater. And thats it. I have a neck sizer and body but I don't use it. If its a tactical rifle I recommend FL sizing. I have a bbl for my tactical rifle but pretty much only shoot that round in my BR rifle. I have a 1.14 inch 5 shot group @600yds from a few weeks ago. Thats what I use from a 22". My tuned load for my BR is Lapua brass of course with 37.5grs varget, and 123 SMK allthough some good groups came from 123 lapua scenars. But I like the SMK's a little better. And it likes them into the lands a bit.
