Longrifles, Inc. 6.5x47 Lapua **Target Up**

Fantastic job brother!!! I look forward to seeing how she shoots... I'd bet it's going to be a one holer! I would also give the new 130 hybrids a try, I have 2k of them that I'm going to try in all of my 6.5mm rifles as soon as it warms up. I have a feeling they will be the ultimate 47 bullet.
 
Did a little load development and was pretty pleased. Looks like RL17 and H4350 are gonna do just fine. It seems like the more I pushed it the better it shot. The target below is with RE17 on the bottom (40.0 left and 41.0gr right) and H4350 on top (40.0gr on the left and 40.5 on the right). The H4350 was running about 2750 FPS and the RL17 was around 2890 FPS. I think either one will work. All are 139gr Scenars. Also tried Varget with similar resluts around 38.5 gr but started seeing pressure signs. Too bad I haven't seen any Rl17 areound here in months!!!


 
Help me out here. What am I missing? You are shooting a .264 bullet yet your groups are .176 and .174. No comprende'.

Center to center. Measure outside to outside and subtract bullet diameter. That's how you measure a group.

He just dialed in the default .264 to save on the math.

On the electronics you just dial in. .264 and hit Zero. On a dial type I just turn the dial. Easy peasy.

I love the rifle, I need to have them build me one someday

No typo. It is correct.
 
That looks great....and the speeds are pretty impressive. I was getting 2750 with a 140 Amax over 41.5gn of H4350 in a 24" Criterion. Thats actually [beeep] impressive considering you're ~1gn less powder and 6" shorter barrel. Either your H4350 is a little hotter or you barrel is faster.

I hope it's the barrel cause im building a 6 Creedmoor and my Bartlein barrel was delivered today. Going 20" with suppressor.

I am pretty happy with it as I was hoping for 2700 FPS out of it.
 
Chad built two for me, and when the time comes for a third, he will be the first guy I call. The way he looks at things and approaches projects is cutting edge (pun!).
