6.52X47 L

Post by MISSED »

The other day I was having a yarn to a fellow member about rifles, wildcats and other shit when all of a sudden I thought of a new wildcat.This is so radical I doubt anyone has done it yet.This new cartridge would be a 6.5x47L necked to .257 with no other changes.Do you think I can name it maybe a Jab 25

Whilst the 6.35x47mm Lapua case is likely to perform somewhat like a stiff loaded 250 Savage (100gn @ 2950fps), the original 6.5x47 case will throw a 120gn bullet @ 3000fps.

Think about it.

Why do you want to build an obscure wildcat that you cannot buy over the counter ammo.Even the 25/06 is outdated with limited ammo supply just go and buy a Howa 243.

From the information I recieved it runs with the 257 Ackley Improved with a lot less powder.
