6x47 Lapua build

[Idaho-45]

Gentlemen, When I started loading for my 6x47L, i bought some muli-times fired brass, used. That turned out to be a mistake. But, what it did do for me was to give me some already formed brass to shoot out of my rifle. Now to my point here... Those rounds gave me a few cases fired in my rifle. So, when I finally found the 2 stage forming process I now use exclusively, I had cases that I could measure to set my FL sizer with. Like many I try to only set shoulders back approximately 0.002- 0.003", when FL sizing. So to answer others questions, I would hesitate to screw my FL sizer all the way down to shell holder , unless needed... Good Luck folks!!!!!!! Idaho-45

Ok thanks. Also, I think my lil helper missed lubing some cases and I ended up with a couple of these......Are they ok to load?

So is it ok to load these up and shoot them, i know once i shoot them it will straighten out the bell but just want to know if it's safe.

I seriously doubt that they will chamber in your gun.

Anybody know to remove the pinned base on the origin? Rubber mallet?

Love the 6x47 Lapua's. Im closing in on 1900 rounds on one gun and 300 on the other. 8 twist is perfect for 105's. I also use the 8 twist in my short hunting 6x47 with 95 VLD's.
