That'll work! Approximate velocity? Thinking the x47 may be the best thing going for a 2.8" box…

I am guessing 2700-2750 based on the drops at 330yds, but I'll have to shoot more data to know for sure...

SS SA 700, blueprinted, pin bushed.
Brux Varmint 1-8.5" cut to 26"
A3 Sporter
HS DBM (I'd like to use M5)
20 Minute Rail
SWFA 12x42 for now...
Kent Porter out of Texas built it. Seems to have done a really nice job.

Sweet rig. I'm about to send the parts off for an 8" twist 22-250. I should have him chamber a 6.5x47 barrel up at the same time…

Tanner,
What die set did you go with and who'd you buy them from?

Sooner or later our heritage of hunting is going to be a rich mans sport and the words "Outfitter" and "Hunt Industry" will be synonymous with cancer and A.I.D.S. among blue collar hunters like me and my family! (A.L. Williams - 2010)

Two 6.5x47 Lapua's. Target is at 1000 yards. Top and bottom shots are from the back rifle, the two center shots are from the close rifle. ![[Linked Image]](http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h427/JimthePlumber17/11-29-14droid056_zps3c375473.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1109.photobucket.com/albums/h427/JimthePlumber17/11-29-14droid057_zps2eb8dadb.jpg)

John John, right now I'm using a simple set of Forster FL's that I got from RenoH414. I may look into some bushing stuff but I'm pretty pleased with the dies for now. Tanner

Forster are my favorite in dies. Just want to let you know you just cost me a pile of money. As soon as I read your post, I ordered a Bartlein Barrel 6.5 barrel, 8" twist, 100 Lapua brass and a set of Forster dies. I was already going to have an 8" twist Bartlein 22-250 barrel screwed on a Remington action I have, but now I have to have the 6.5 Lapua chambered up as well! Couldn't find a micrometer seater die, but I'm pretty sure the ones from my other Forster dies will screw in to their regular seater.

Laughing... Glad I could be of service!
I'm interested to hear how the micrometer in the regular die body works out; at first glance I think it should, too.
An 8" 22-250 and a 6.5 Lapua strike me as a fairly wicked combo; I know the last time I shot 75 A-Maxes at 3400fps they impressed the heck out of me. I think you'll be pretty fond of the 6.5x47.... I already want one in a lightweight...

Bartlein 2Bs on these. Not too light to shoot well, not too heavy to carry... Figure both should work well from the 2.8" box.

Nice Aalf. John - is a 2B lighter than Mag sporter?
They do seem to be a good contour for a carry rifle.
