6.5x47 Lapua to 260 Rem

[hyatus44]

Has anyone converted a 6.5X47 Lapua to 260 Rem. I dont think it can be done because the Lapua chamber is .002 larger than the 260 Rem chamber. However, thats very close. I'm just wondering if anyone has done it before and accepted the slightly oversized chamber.

Hyatus,
I haven't but what I am about to do for someone is make a 6.5*47 Long. We are going to send the 6.5*47 Reamer in another 4mm (160 thou or so). This effectively will be a 260 length cartridge with 6.5*47 front end. I have both Resizer and chamber reamers so will make the dies for it myself but you could still use a set of standard 6.5* 47 dies. Just send the 7mm 08 or 308 brass through the 6.5*47 die to form brass. Occasionally the base will need a bump in with another die though. I am just looking at what can be used and will post here when i find it.
