Brass - 6.5X47 Lapua - Peterson / 50pk

Peterson's 6.5x47 Lapua calibre is huge-hit with competitive and long distance shooters the world over. It's used by top shooters, but can also be a great calibre for less experienced shooters because it's easy to develop accurate loads for.

Handloaders often talk about “accuracy nodes” which refers to how broad the powder charge can range and still produce consistently accurate shots. Some calibres have very small accuracy nodes, further, the frequency of those nodes is a lot less. But the 6.5x47 Lapua calibre has a large number of accuracy nodes and those nodes cover a broad range. 

In fact, Peterson know of one 6.5x47 shooter who put over 3,000 rounds through the same barrel, and even with that amount of throat wear is still shooting sub-MOA at 1,000 yards with the same load!
