Where's the 6.5x47L Brass???

[Grimstod]

wow I am so glad I got it from Bullet.com when I did. It was 105 at the time I believe. The 6.5x47 is certainly gaining a lot of popularity. There is a FB page dedicated to just it and its been supper busty lately.

These days, one must maintain a sufficient supply of components to carry one through a minimum of 2 years of range time. Lesson learned from years of long lead times for custom bullets that make it to the upper tier of match reports. These days I carry that tenet into all components. Amazing how fast those "in-stock" icons turn into "out of stock".

I just called a Kevin Thomas.. He stated they have a show in Germany in the next few weeks and he will speak to Lapua's production team and pass it on that we are hurting for brass... He didn't know about any production schedule... I suggest someone calling Germany right now to hurry things alone because can't anyone give me a sure number/time schedule... Creedmoore Sports did say check back in mid March.... Somebody call Germany for us... Luckily I picked up about 200 6-6.5x47 and 6.5 cases at one of my last matches but they will need fire forming to my chamber...

I wonder if a certain small precision ammo maker purchased out everyone so they can load ammo...

260 is in the same boat.

Which German company is producing the 6.5x47 brass?

 

[JabaliHunter]

I expect he means that they will all be at IWA from 4th March.

(Yes it's bigger than SHOT, but don't tell anyone...)

Richard. They are having a show in Germany and Lapua is going to be there, that's all he is saying.

Thanks, Jim. Had me hoping I might get my hands on some good brass!

Richard. It is what it is. Just by talking to somebody at Lapua isn't going to get stuff here any sooner. There have been shortages of brass, primers, powder, and bullets for the last 9 years. What are u looking for?

6.5x47 for my 25x47 build.

6.5x47 for my 25x47 build.

I wish I could help u out. I have 7 boxes, 5 blue and 2 gold, but Sid just chambered me 2 new barrels for one of my Bat actions in 6x47, and 30 Jag 2, and there both based on that case. I'll ask some of the guy's that I shoot against if they have some kicking around.

I've had a lot of interest in a 25x47L build... I wished Berger would make match bullets for that cal. in 130gr area... I still think a 25x47L shooting 120gr Partitions would be a great deer stopper... Have you ever seen somebody size the case up to .338??? I've been thinking about doing a 338x47L in a short barrel silenced hunting package..

Hang in there guys! There are about 50,000 of the 6.5 x 47 Lapua cases en route from Lapua to the USA importers. Should be here within 2 weeks and then the distribution/dealer pipeline will begin to fill up.

Maybe you could send 100,000 next time

For those that are still in need of 6.5 X 47 brass, Ron Hoehn has it in stock.

 

[4xforfun]

I have 200 pieces of GOLD box...same lot number.....and I really don't need it right now. Is there any benifit to gold box vs blue? I baught it from the Jerry Simminson's estate auction last year and ended up building a 6.5x284.

 

[JigStick]

I found a couple places that have it in stock about 20min ago….but they are asking $260 / 100 cases. F#$@ that. Ill shoot the ones I have until the primers fall out before I pay that.

FWIW I have seen 6.5x47 brass made from 22-250 once fired cases. Gotta grind down a 308 FL die and slowly work the shoulder, but it does work. I believe it leaves you with a large rifle primer though. But still….it would get you shooting in a pinch
