Even though this came from CMMG, it's pretty accurate. Build based off this:

10/22s don't usually like 36gr hollowpoints. I'm just sayin'... We can fix the gun, with information. Don't worry about that part, man. I'll try to get these things I have here measured up for BCG centerline above top-of-mag-catch this weekend. That's the only place I know to start, IRT the recent conversations. EDIT - gas block alignment is easy. I can talk you through that. Have no fears on that.

I wonder if Cheaper-Than-Dickheads jacked prices... I didn't even THINK ABOUT looking at those gouging jackasses during this! And I kick myself for not doing it... It never even occurred to me, during that week. I'll bet they did, those sorry fukbags.

PUSH THE FREEDOM!!!! That's fucking BADASS, brother!!!...

I'm all about it, Phil, let it rip, man. I went .260 over 6.5C, and I'll never look back. However, I'm always interested in the "other side" of any of these cartridges. Go after it, at your leisure - it won't be bad info, that's for sure.

Congrats for you, brother! That's some good news...

Small RIfle Magnum primers, only, though... That's what I picked up about this cartridge. CCI-450s, CCI-41s, other small rifle magnum primers. Something worth trying, if you go this route, would be the new-ish Federal Premium "AR Small RIfle Match" primers. Federal's part number is GM205MAR. I have a pile of these that I haven't tried yet, for the 5.56 guns.

I would say - If other 6.5 x 47 Lapua guys aren't having an issue, then it's gonna be alright. That's a pretty established cartridge, now, and Lapua put their name on it. There's no way it doesn't function, as a developed load/cartridge, by Lapua. Here's good info on "the 3," 6.5 x 47 Lapua vs. 6.5 Creedmoor vs. .260 Rem. http://demigodllc.com/articles/6.5-shootout-260-6.5x47-6.5-creedmoor/?p=3 If it was me - I'd build a .260 Remington. I can make the brass out of .308 Win brass, and I reload. That's what seals the deal for me. 6.5 Creedmoor is based from the .30 TC brass - and finding that is hard, if I wanna convert it, or I buy it (Hornady brass a a buck a round). 6.5 x 47 Lapua is not gonna give you a "parent-case" brass choice - because that's it. You pay buck-30 per round, new brass? That's not bad. My new Hornady Grendel brass is $40-per-50 pieces. All new brass is expensive, Lapua being a little more. Even though the 6.5x 47 :Lapua will go 1000 yards - that's not what it was designed for. This is a quote from the article I linked above: There's alot to think about before getting into this cartridge...

For Big ARs, I reload .308 in 3 of them, .338 Fed for one, and .260 Rem for one - those guns don't eat brass. If I'm shooting the bolt gun at the same time, I can't tell which brass came from which gun, honestly. You build something overgassed or under-recoiled, where the BCG is cycling way too fast - and that's gonna tear up brass. Build it wisely, and it shouldn't be an issue at all... My $0.02.

As long as it's just the tip, and you don't leave it in there too long, you should be safe. Accidents DO happen, though...

You're blood only mixes with alcohol. Wait... I got that reversed. Your alcohol system can barely mix with your blood supply...

@Lane - ^^^ This guy right here... ...He felt guilty about not making a shoot, so he shipped me 50lbs of binary to use up in a shoot... I have 34 pounds left. I was gonna make a "C4 Basketball" until I found out how much tannerite a basketball-carcass will actually hold - it's alot. Pumpkins hold even more. I have 34 lbs for the next shoot - I just need to be creative in "how much goes at one time..." Here's 42lbs vs. Jetta:

Exactly what I'm talking about - which is badass...

Midlength gas system? Gas tube would be around 12-ish inches long, eye-balling with a tape measure? Nevermind- - I read the whole thread again - but which upper are we talking about in this recent pic? The BCA or the PSA (the one in the pic above)?... It's gotta be midlength gas - there aren't too many manufacturers brave enough to try making an 18" rifle-gas barrel.

BWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!! Lurking around website to try to ambush me into something - and you ambushed YOURSELF, brother!!! It just doesn't get any better than that, right there...

Exactly - casual AND formal!...

You literally have alot of irons in the fire, man...

Damn, Cliff! I never noticed you were from Mount Vernon! Until you stated Ohio!... I'm originally from Zanesville. Moved outta there in '86 and haven'y lived in OH since, though.

You're building a 6.5x47 Lapua, just in a semi-auto. It would be better to try to find out the brass life of that cartridge, through bolt guns - which they mostly are - then try to find out if there is a difference in brass life between bolt guns and semi-autos (there definitely is, but I'm not sure if there's a calculation or number to assign to that - a percentage). If you're reloading, and only for one gun - you can get some incredible brass life based on your reloading practices. Reloading the same caliber across multiple rifles - brass won't last as long. Are you working with this rifle here - with a new barrel? - or is this a completely different gun now?

Why are the pivot and takedown pins on this one going in from this side of the gun?...

Damnit - I've already got that barrel, but in bare stainless...

Not the guy I quoted right above your quote here - he posted this 5 hours ago. He stated "Josh" but he was talking about Josiah. That's the tie-in on this thread.

He used Loquacious on you, @DNP... I love it!...

Exactly that.
