Anyone used 6.5x47 brass for 6-250 ?

Eggman, here's a thought
Read your post and after thinking about it a bit, the 6.5 X 47 Lapua
Brass I think has the small primer pocket. Reckon that is going to be
enough "fire" from the small primer to properly ignite a case that size ?
On the other hand, that might be the best possible scenario, using the
small primers !
The small primer is apparently enough to fire the 6.5
X 47 round anyhow ! Several are already shooting the 6.5 X 47 case
necked down to 6MM, so maybe someone who has already done this
will give us a report.

I answered my own question...
the 6.5 x 47mm case sized down and up well . I reamed the flash hole a little bit with the same K&M tool I use on my Lapua 6 BR cases for 22 Dasher. My 6-22-250 barrel is a tight neck so I just turned down to where the "bump" was to give me a false shoulder (I finished turning after fireforming) then loaded a medium load. I first used a Federal primer and it pierced it then I switched to CCI-450's and they did great. The firformed case measured 1.880"in length and held 44.2 grs. of water which is very close to my Rem. brass. I report later how accuracy is on the second shooting of the brass. I think its going to make some great cases.

Results are favorable...
here is some pics of the 6.5x47mm Lapua case , the resized and neck turned case and a fireformed case . You will have to click on the link to see the picture for some reason.

Accuracy was good even for fireforming here is a picture of my best target of 5 shots at 100 yds. I used a 62 gr. Knight bullet and 31.7 grs. N-133 and a rem. 7 1/2 primer.

Next I will be trying some fullhouse loads with n-135

Rodney, thanks for sharing...
that info. Did you get this barrel from Fred Sizemore? If so, I have it's twin and am wondering where you got the load data for it. Would you mind emailing me and let's talk about it?

Eric, No not Dumb. Lapua messed everything up...
when they came out with a new cartridge called the 6.5x47mm Lapua which is shaped kinda like a 6 XC. When they did there has been a frenzy in wildcatting the parent cartridge hence the 6x47mm Lapua. I still shoot the old benchrest cartridge 6x47mm that I make from 222 Rem. Mag.so I try to tag the other one Lapua and the 6x47mm still means (to me anyway) the 222 Rem Mag necked up to 6mm.
