[QUOTE="James Jones, post: 204393, member: 8843"] From the load data I have seen on the 6x47 Lapua you will be hard pressed to get the 243 to shoot at those speeds , the 243 Ackley maybe but the barrel life will be cut shot by a pretty noticable margin. The are probably thinking that the 47's case won't feed well cause its a bit shorter , this can be fixed by tweeking the mag lips some. The 243 will feed great from this mag because it was desgined around the 308 case to start with. The 243 Ackley is one of my favorite rounds and I have shot out half a dozen barrel with them using bullets from 55 to 115grs , while it is an impressive preformer with all the bullets I woulden't build another as long as 6.5x47 Lapua brass was available The regular 243 will have issues with brass streching loang before the 47L will although it is about 50-60% cheaper 100 pieces should last you about the life of the barrel unless you get retarded with the pressures. Maybe you should be talking to a smith that has delt with this round some and has experiance with it feeding , I know that Nathen Dagley "308nate" here just built a tube gun on this round that uses a detachable mag , you might also call George at GA precision ,I'm sure by now they have built sombody a tactical rifle on this round.
