I don't hear much about this round, but does anyone shoot a 6.5 x 47 lapua?

I'm a big fan of Savage rifles, but I'm not sold on their 338 Lapuas. I expect .5 MOA from most factory Savage rifles and I just haven't seen that with their 338s. You could build a 338 RUM or Edge on a Savage and use a premium barrel for about the same cost as buying the LRH.

I don't hear much about this round, but does anyone shoot a 6.5 x 47 lapua?
I pieced one together for a friend and it's been great so far. 26" McGowen barrel on a Savage action. It shoots the 130gr Bergers in the .25 MOA range and has shown a lot of potential with the 142 SMK.

long range killer,
savages are a great gun and out of the box one of the best rite now. I think if you were to get the lrh lapua and put a different stock on it and I think you will have a great rifle for long range, shoot up that barrel and have a new barrel put on in what ever cartridge you would like at that time.

I'd do a search on snipershide.  More than a few guys on there were disappointed.

I'm having a 338RUM built.  Almost identical performance, cheaper brass, cheaper dies, and a standard mag boltface.

I almost went with a .338 RUM when I had BenchMark build my .338 Edge.  I did contemplate doing a .338 Norma Magnum for a bit. The .338 RUM would be straight forward reloading and a big game animal isn't going to be able to tell which it was shot with when it drops in its shadow. I was going to have Benchmark build me a 7-300 Winchester but I have been really looking at the 7mm Dakota. The 285 Hornady match flat shoot in my Edge and "HAMMER" animals. Sometimes the Berger 300gr Hybrids are hard to find unless you keep your supply up. I shoot allot more of the 285's than I do the 300's both are as accurate as it gets. I have yet to use a 300gr Hybrid on anything larger than a RockChuck.

A 285gr Hornady Match recovered from a Mule deer I shot at just shy of 400yards. Acted like a varmint bullet on the inside, multiple exits. I found the base just under the hide on the off side. Just the way I like it. It flat crushed him! The impact was loud on the quiet morning, sounded like smacking Roseanne Bar on the hindend with a canoe paddle.





Benchmark built up my 270 for me. I still cant believe the ability of this rifle....it's stupifying!!!
