6.5 Guys Author the 6.5×47 Lapua Cartridge Guide

Go ahead and conduct an internet search on your favorite cartridge and chances are the cartridge guides produced by Accurateshooter.com (a.k.a. 6mmbr.com) show up at the top of the search results. These cartridge guides are popular because they provide a straight forward overview of a cartridge, cover technical details, contain insights from notable shooters as well as other useful information such as ballistic performance and reloading data.

Until recently, a search on 6.5×47 Lapua produced no such guide. Sensing an opportunity, and with the encouragement of Paul McMenamin of Accurate Shooter, the 6.5 Guys decided to fill the void by authoring the 6.5×47 Lapua cartridge guide. Here’s an overview of what is contained in the guide:

• History of the cartridge
• Load data
• Working with compressed loads
• Bullet considerations including relative ballistic performance
• Primer considerations
• Commercial ammunition offerings
• Perspectives from a precision rifle builder RBros rifles
• Discussions with Zak Smith and Rich Emmons

The cartridge guide is now available on Accurateshooter.com. We will be revisiting the information in this guide to make updates on an annual basis to include any new relevant information pertaining to the cartridge  . If you have any comments or insights that would be helpful as we update the cartridge guide, please share them with us.
