Can't find this anywhere!

Does anyone know the case trim length on the 6.5x47L?

COAL is no problem!

Dennis, you don't seem to be getting a lot of replies on this one. Although I don't have a ready-made answer for you, let me chime in - maybe that gets the discussion going.

It is indeed such, that it can be difficult to find trim length for "oddball" (European) calibers. If I had a 6.5x47 Lapua, I would do the following:

1) observe that for MOST European calibers following the "caliberXcase-length" nomenclature, the case length (in this case 47 mm) is the max case length allowed. I can't, however, guarantee you this also the case for the 6.5x47.

2) Therefore, I would personally get a "Chamber Length Gauge" for caliber .264" from www.SinclairIntl.com . This little gizmo allows you to establish the max case length, for YOUR CHAMBER - which is often longer than what the specified max case length, and can save you a good bit of trimming. The gauge is a tiny little device, and might cost you 10$ or so?

3) Alternatively, I would look over on www.6mmbr.com, they tend to be pretty oriented towards target calibers. Maybe you'll find an answer there,

4) or finally, I would write Lapua a mail and ask them. Google Lapua and you'll find their website.

But of all the options above, I have to admit I would gravitate towards obtaining a Sinclair Chamber Length Gauge, as it allows me to measure MY SPECIFIC chamber for max case length.

Hope this helps.

Dennis,

Max case length = 1.845"
Trim case length to = 1.835"

On Lapua's web site: States the following!

Cases: Lapua, trim-to-length 46,80mm (1.843")

I didn't think about checking their website

Dennis,

Yep! I see that. Guess I'll change my "trim to" length.
