I picked up my new 6.5x47 lapua from Beanland last Friday. I had a chance to shoot it a little bit on Sunday. Initial load testing is very positive, not that I would expect anything else. I didn't have my chrono with me to check speed, es, or sd. That will be the next step.

Rifle specs:
Defiance Rebel action with small firing pin hole and guardian mag well.
Krieger 5r 1:8.5 heavy Palma cut to 26" with 5/8-24 threads
Surgeon dbm
Manners T5a painted coyote tan. Gonna get dipped in multi cam
Jewell trigger
Metal coated in FDE cerakote and black micro slick on the bolt body

Re: New Beanland 6.5x47

Sorry... 130 vld's for 5 shots. This one was the best group, but all the loads I tested were under 3/4 moa.
 
Re: New Beanland 6.5x47

Man, imagine the groups you will shot with it once you have a optic on there! Sub 0.25moa with just the scope rings (LOL!)

Re: New Beanland 6.5x47

JamesBailey... I know! I'm totally stoked about the possibilities... Haha. I'm kind of rifle rich and scope poor at the moment. More rifles than quality optics. I had to rob my nightforce off my 22-243 for the range session. Waiting for tax season/shot show before I make some more scope purchases.

That's a tack driver. Can't wait to finish my 6.5 x 47 Lapua build.

Re: New Beanland 6.5x47

Jon built me a 6.5x47 I use Varget w/ 130vld
It's one hole groups @ 100yrds.
I started w/ 37.5gr and went up in .3gr. Increments
And stop @ 38.1gr. All were one hole 5shot
Groups. I went with the hottest load. But
All were .25 or less. He built my shooting
Buddy a 65x47L and his shoots the same
W/ those loads.
Just thought I would add that, incase you
Would like to try a diffrent powder.

Good looking rifle, from a master builder.
Good shooting!!
