[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2406186, member: 10755"] 6.5x47 Lapua will easily go the distance with a tight chamber. Guessing any of the cartridges derived from the Needmoor will go the distance. Those based off the 308 case and even those off the 30-06. Those that will, like the RUM, Lapua or Norma Mag will all depend on the chamber/die and what neck tolerance there is in that chamber. For instance, the chamber on my factory Rem has too large of a neck diameter, brass expands .006” over neck OD of a loaded round. Unless careful sizing is done, this may not get long brass life. It also depends on the brass. The only brass I can get is Barnes……which is made by Remington anyway. You folks in the US are blessed with the array of choices you have. I have 3 brass brands to choose from, Remington/Barnes, Norma or Lapua. Occasionally there is RWS, Sako and S&B in quantities I can utilise, but mostly that stuff isn’t in large enough quantities that make it worthwhile to purchase. I ordered and paid for ADG brass 3 times, then was told by email my order was cancelled because they were filling homegrown orders first. Very disappointing. Not knocking them, but the BS we have to do to get brass imported as an individual is just ridiculous. This arms dealing treaty that has been imposed is just STUPIDITY. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
