This specific cartridge information pertains to handloading the 6×47 Lapua, a popular wildcat cartridge known for its accuracy and performance, especially in long-range target shooting. Information typically includes powder types, charge weights, bullet types and weights, cartridge overall length (COAL), and primers. An example might be a recommendation of 40.5 grains of Vihtavuori N550 powder with a 105-grain Berger VLD bullet, seated to a specific COAL, using a CCI BR-4 primer.
Accurate load development is crucial for safety and optimal performance. Handloaders utilize this information to tailor their ammunition to specific rifles and achieve consistent velocities, tight groupings, and manage pressure levels within safe operating limits. This wildcat cartridge, based on the 6.5×47 Lapua, gained popularity due to its efficient powder burning and flatter trajectory compared to its parent case. Its widespread use among competitive shooters underscores the value of reliable loading information.
