6 x 47 Lapua
Most competitive shooters know and respect the caliber 6.5x47 Lapua. But there is another community that really likes the necked down 6x47 Lapua. Most 6x47 shooters dread the tedium of having to neck the 6.5 casings down. Problem solved – Peterson Cartridge now offers factory made 6x47 Lapua.
Many shooters like the 6x47 Lapua because it produces faster velocities. Also the recoil is even less than the relatively low recoil 6.5. Some shooters like the 6x47 because they find that 6mm bullets outperform the 6.5 projectiles.
So Peterson Cartridge has released factory-made, properly headstamped 6x47 Lapua casings.
Additional Information
If you plan to load above SAAMI max pressure and are concerned about primer-pocket leak, Peterson recommends you try their 6.5 Creedmoor Small Rifle Primer. While they do not suggest loading over SAAMI max pressures, Peterson's small primer pocket 6.5 Creedmoor have proven to hold up over SAAMI max pressures when tested in their universal receiver.
*Note: All of our SRP casings feature a small flash hole in the diameter of 0.060” vs. the 0.080” flash hole found in our LRP casings. This means you will need an X-small/ Undersized Decapping Pin to deprime our casings.

Do not use Peterson Cartridge Co casings for “fire forming” or any other purpose other than what they were designed and tested for.
