If you buy a standard (308, 6mm BR etc.) action you shouldn't need to change the bolt head right? Isn't the new Lapua round based on .308 case head dimensions?
I would like to build a benchrest long range rifle chambered in the 6.5 x 47 Lapua. Can I buy the Savage precision action and change the bolt head and fit a Pac-Nor barrel to it.

Yes the 6.5x47L uses a 308 bolthead, all you would need is to screw the barrel on and go.
Yep thats what I did ..... best thing I ever did , this thing will go to 1000 yds and less than half the kick an 20% less powder and the bullets are cheaper and it shoots great 6 shot group @ 200yds .234 not too bad for a krieger barrel.
hi, what exactly is the 6.5x47?
Case dimensions are simular to a 308 but the round was developed by Lapua
like a .260?
Kind of, but much much better. The case is closer to the dimentions of a 22/250, than a 308.Originally Posted by desertdog
222 rem mag case necked up to 6.5
snowpro440 thats a 6.5x47 not the 6.5x47L
Nope that is a 6.5 x47 remington, not the lapua round.Originally Posted by snowpro440
can you run the lapua brass from the box? what about for a predator hunting looking for something with better barrel life than the .243?
Yes, and you found it.Originally Posted by desertdog
yep it should be an easy repeater. Im building one for predator/varmint hunting

SSS has made a round off of it called the 22 sharpshooter. It is more efficient than a 22/250.
