Looking for Data on 6mmx47 Lapua

[Shooter264]

What kind of velocity are you guys getting with the 105's. How long of a tube are you shooting. Any and all info on this cartridge with the 105's would be greatly appreciated. I am getting ready to stuff a new 6mm together and am pondering another 243 AI or a 6x47 Lapua.

You can get 3150 easy with 105 bergers.I like to stay at the 28" range on the barrel length.I've had several 6/47 lap's and all shot real good.Come to think of it I don't know why I sold them,LOL.
Loads- I start with some H4350,cci450 and 105 bergers at +.010 in the lands .
I also believe the barrel life may be a little better than the 243ack.

I built a 6X47 last year and really like it, I have used N550 its temp. sensitive then went to RL 17 and H4350. RL17 showed very low ES. The 105's worked when jambed hard, so you can see square marks on bullet. 3130 fps seemed to be the speed mine liked to shoot, you can easily get more out of it if wanted. JUst chambered another last week and broke in today,messing around with 95 sierras showing lots of promise. I'd go with the 6X47.

Is there not much of a return if you go longer, or is it just more practical with the shorter tube?

 

[mattdienes]

I 've found that the shorter the barrel the easier to keep tuned and shooting good,I ve had 26" barrels on guns and only lost 20 fps to the 28" barrel.It is easier to make wieght in some cases with a little shorter tube also(if thats a factor).

check out gun of the week 073. Beginski has posted some valuable data.

Im trying to decide between the same two rounds for my next build, How fast could you push the 115's in the 6x47 lapua? The 243ai?

I shoot 39.5 in in spring ,summer, and fall 40.1 in winter of H4350 with CCI450 Primers with 26" barrel and 1.5" muzzle brake very accurate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I run 39gr of h4350 with a cci450 under a smk107. I only shoot these guns in the spring and summer. The barrels are 27in running about 3k.
