[QUOTE="biggabucks, post: 544954, member: 34310"] Guys we have done around 10 different customs in 6.5x47 Lapua this year in mostly lighter weight hunting configurations and All have been capable of shooting 1/4" groups. We have used 1 in 9 twist Hart and Krieger barrels and have averaged around 2850 in 24" barrels and 2900 to 2950 in 26" barrels with 140 Berger VLD Hunting bullets. All shot H4350 at 41.0-41.5 gr and most shot Vit N 550 at 41.0-41.5 gr. no pressure signs. The Vit is usually 50+ fps faster than the Hog, but H is a little more accurate across all guns. I do Have a personal hunting rifle that has a 26" Hart 1 in 9 that is shooting 2982 fps and in the very low.2's using 41.5 gr N550, Lapua case, cci 450 mag. We love this cartridge for accuracy, lack of recoil, barrel life, and feel it is an ideal whitetail rifle for 600 yards and in. [/QUOTE]
