A little case capacity I guess.

The funny thing about the 6.5-47L case. Guys are running them to stupid velocities. Read a blog about one target shooter running his 6x47L to 3250 with 115 DTACs. With about 10 grains less capacity than a 243 which really can't even do that. He claims that the small primer cases handle pressure better. I can't imagine what his pressures are with that load but certainly far about 65,000 PSI.

I really wanted to do it on a 243 case but I am intrigued by the 6mm Creedmoor. Did not know brass existed.

I'll have to see the availability of reloading dies and order a reamer...
