6.5x47 Lapua and a 1:9 twist.

[Ogre6br]

HI
I have a spare 1:9 twist 264 cal S/S match barrel 28 inch sitting in the shed.
What say you all about building a 6.5x47 Lapua with it??

Be used for and field rifle and hunting upto some F class if the 130 VLDs will stabalize in the 1:9 twist.

Waht do you guys think??

thanks

later

That old 9 twist barrel should be a good project to put the 6.5X47 Lapua into it will be mild on the barrel and the 9 twist will stabalise all projectiles under 140gr in hunting types and up to 130gr with VLD's yes i know the brand but you have to use it for something.
