6x47 Lapua

Do you use a Expanding mandrel to adjust the neck ID?

I do not. I have not found the need to adjust the tension....yet

So you don't measure a fired round to see what it is?
First time at this so just wondering.

Hard to know exactly how much spring back in a fired or sized case.

Start at the start by knowing what the reamer/chamber dimensions are and go from there.

Ah ok good to know.

Ok that makes sense. Thanks!

Does anyone know why Lapua is the only 6.5x47 Brass manufacture?
Seems a company like Starline, Jagemann, AlphaMunitions, or the like would get on board and make some?

If it ain't broke...

I ended up having to neck turn my brass for my "no turn chamber" after about 6 - 8 firings. I was thinking that the brass wasn't worth the effort, but I payed "extra attention" to the force it takes to insert a primer and they are pretty much as new!!! Also, I anneal after every firing. I am pretty sure that if the brass fits my next chamber I will run the 200 I have with the next BBL!! GOOD STUFF!!!

243 Lapua I am using a 277 neck. I am only sizing half the neck to 267. No donut. Gorgeous neck tension so far.
