What dies for the 6.5x47 Lapua.

[Old Coach]

What dies are best for the 6.5x47 Lapua?
Where to buy, most places are out of stock.
This is for a hunting rifle with a 24" Rock bbl.
Also suggest a good hunting bullet for deer out to 600yds.

Thanks
Coach

I think the 130g Swift Scirocco II bullet would be hard to beat if that chambering for a hunting bullet. My 2nd choice would be the 130g Berger VLD Hunting bullet.

130 grains AB and or 140 grain SST for short range stuff.

I have really good service from the Redding bushing sizing dies and the micrometer seating die.

Runout is a good indicator of the quality of the dies and your technique.

Re: What dies for the 6.5x47 Lapua.

whats the difference on Redding Dies, and other ones like RCBS, or Foster? would it make a big difference in accuracy?

I want to buy some reloading dies for my 6.5x47 Lapua, but I dont much cash to spend, what do you guys really recommend?

please excuse me Old Coach, but I also need some help making a wise and expensive decision.
