[QUOTE="Hobo, post: 515245, member: 33120"] ....... Up until last week my favorite "go-to" rifles for long range hunting were a pair of twin Remington 700 CDL rifles with stainless fluted factory bbls, bedded action (pillow block), floated bbl, and a 1# Jewell trigger in both .243 Winchester and .270 WSM.... Both of these rifle shoot right around 1' MOA and I wanted something to group a little better than this..... Tuesday I went over to McWhorter Custom Rifles in Doerun, Georgia.... After spending the better part of the day with Tim McWhorter and Alan Rovig I learned alot..... Before leaving I had placed an order for a new custom long range hunting rifle in 6.5x47Lapua..... It's hard for me to comprehend the accuracy of these rifles.. Allan and Tim recommended using the 140 gr Berger VLD hunting bullet for this rifle with Lapua brass.... All this is leading me up to my "help" question: They've recommended going with a Redding precision die set with a fl resizing die along with a micrometer adjustable seating die with a custom fitted seating stem just for the 140 gr Berger bullets..... Having never used anything but regular 'ole "off the counter" RCBS dies I'm at a loss!!! From what I understand I have to order special bushings for this Redding seater die...... How do I know which bushing to order with this die???? I'm hoping that perhaps some of you that shoot and reload for the 6.5x47 Lapua round will help me out..... I would also like to hear about some of your pet loads and experiences with this caliber.... Thanks in advance!!! ------------<" ){{{{{>< Ken Doss [/QUOTE]
