New 6x47 Lapua Project-Need a little help

[oklahomaboy]

I have ordered a BAT VR repeater action and will need to find a way to make up a few dummies for my gunsmith to use in chambering the gun. I've called around and find that 6.5x47 Lapua brass is in short supply. Bruno indicates they hope to have it in sometime in May. I am hoping that someone will sell me either 5 fire formed 6x47L or new 6.5x47L brass so I can get some dummies going.
I appreciate any help you might can give me.

Walt,
Sinclair International is showing 6.5x47 Lapua to be in stock and eabco.com has it listed.

Got 4 nice new cases from Preacher, got dies to resize, project is up and running. Thanks to all especially Preacher for his help. The 6x47L is a beautiful cartridge. Once finished, I would like to posts some pics.

Do you have your dies yet?

You should full length size three pieces of brass in your dies so the gunsmith and reamer maker can match your chamber to your dies.

I can send you fireformed 6X47 Lapua but it will match my chamber reamer.

Let me know if this would help

Got my dies and got Berger 88 gr. Varmint bullets, 85 gr. Nosler Partitions, and some VMaxs. Got my dummies made and ready to buy a PTG reamer to match the dummies. But, and it's a big But, I am getting cold feet on this project as Geraci indicates he has problems with barrel life, finiky to load for too. I was initially thinking about trying to get a 6BR to feed through the BAT repeater I have on order; however, that could be a shot in the dark to get to feed right. I think I will try the 6BR and if it won't feed satisfactorily, I will have the barrel rechambered to 6x47L as my smith's reamer prints show the 6x47 will clean up the 6BR chamber without a setback of the barrel. I can always sell the 6x47 dies if I don't need them.
