I have an old Savage Model 10 chambered in the 6x47 (lapua). It has a CHEAP $29 ER Shaw over-run barrel on it. Shoots okay. Have only tried a few different loads and 2 powders. So far best is right at an inch, maybe a tad bit smaller.

I'm in the middle of a build for another 6x47L

Defiant action
Shilen #4 barrel
McMillian Hunter stock BDL
Seekins Bottom Metal/detachable magazine

I'm hoping that it's a shooter.

As for .243's. I have 2 - they're okay. If I ever decide to do anything with them... maybe cut the chamber to an .243AI ?
