6.5 x 47 Lapua maximum velocity/accuracy obtainable?

here you go, the 6.5 OUTLAW

This AM I was thinking about a case of similar volume to the OUTLAW by taking the 308 Palma brass and pushing the shoulder back to get a case similar in stature to the 47. I was looking for a little more capacity to handle the 140's maybe better. Pushing the shoulder back would require neck reaming but would allow for a longer neck.

Like most other wildcats not much diiferent than what is available or has been done before, but it is fun to tinker.
 
A little more capacity than the 47 is a 6XC (Good Norma brass lasts forever) and the 6.5 or 6 Creedmoor.Tinkering is getting your own reamers,chamber and throater. doing different barrel profiles and twists, tuners and brakes. Forcing an ezixting brass down to end up with an already existing cartridge sounds like drudgery to me. I can do the dishes if I want that. Jus my opinion, ya understand.

The only possible benefits over the 6XC or similar is by starting with 308 Lapua brass the round would have a small primer and Lapua brass. But like I said in the original post not much different than what is available, just a little different,

I doubt I will I build it, like I said it was something I was thinking of.
