Can someone display the dimensions of the 6.5 x47 for me? Thanks

Old age is a high price to pay for maturity!!! Some never pay and some pay and never reap the reward. Wisdom comes with age! Sometimes age comes alone..

Thanks, John. Neat little cartridge. To bad our military didn't have it in 1942.

You meant that 6.5x47 - OK.... ! I don't have it, sorry!

Any chance of sending the specs to 'Steve's Pages'? He doesn't have it either and he does ask for submissions. (He doesn't have the other 6.5x47 either).

Regards

Can't tell from this exchange whether you're discussing a 6.5-222 Remington Magnum wildcat or the 6.5x47 Lapua, but our military had the similar 276 Pederson (7x51) in a 10 shot M1 Garand ready in the 1930s and decided not to use it. MacArthur's decision to stay with the 30'06 was not based on technical details or tactical advantages but matters of supply and interoperability so even the superior 6.5 Grendel and 6.5x47 Lapua cartridges would have become footnotes.

6.5x47 Lapua. and your right on about MacArther's folley. Based on what he didn't do on Dec. 8th 1941, His landing in the Phillipines instead of Formosa, and his attack at Peleliu and the unesscessary waste of lives is testemony of his brilliance and egomania.
