[QUOTE="alf, post: 1030890, member: 9543"] 6.5x47 is a perfect fit in a 2.800" 700 magazine box w/o having to seat bullets down into the powder like the longer rounds do. My reamer has .123" freebore, and my OAL length with 130 VLD's is 2.750", in the lands a bit. Best accuracy is at 2830 with the 130's, and scary accuracy to 1000+. My barrel is a #3 Brux, cut to 23". Muzzle diameter is about .630", so fretting too much over length in the smaller contours isn't a big deal. Each inch is only about an ounce in a #3 6.5 cal.
