6.5x47 modified case

[glider]

Getting ready to start reloading for a new rig .
There seems to be little interest for 6.5x47 lapua among big supply houses for modified cases or case gauges .
Is anyone qualified to tap 5/16x36 using 19/64 bit for a lock and load set up ?
Also does anyone know of a RCBS Precision mic gauge type measuring device for 6.5x47 lp?
could use some help
Thanks

Third generation shooting supply usually has the modified case. Other than that I am of no help.

Whidden makes the case gauge similar to the RCBS.

Thx Bcar
Third Gen is listing M.case out of stock , have called Hornady they say couple of weeks now for two /three months .
Case gauge from Whidden's looks good !
I'm switching to Sinclair case bullet seating device and Forester Datam case and bullet gauge , seems like Forester will work better anyway ,cases and rounds can be measured directly inline with calipers , unlike Lock and Load system which is a little tricky getting everything inline .

Try Bruno's, they had them in stock when I was looking.

Yeah Bruno's is top tier women in sales has all item #s stored as total recall ! she is super !
anyway ordered a bunch of K&M tools she new exactly for 6.5x47 .
As for modified case easiest is to by wilson gauge and use as drill guide , then some lapping compound on bullet inserted point first in drill . Thanks for helping I think im good .

or just get a small piece of 0000 steel wool and do it the right way......

I bought a 6.5 creedmoor modified case, ran it into my 6.5x47L sizing die, trimmed to length and turned the neck. It seems to work ok.
