Roesika Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Anyone built or used a .22x47 lapua for shooting 75 gr amax. I read that you can make a ackley version by running a 22-250 ackley 50 thou short and then you will have a .22x47 ackley lapua.

The Gun Pimp Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Yeh - done it - but with a 22 Dasher reamer run in a bit further. Ballistically, it doesn't seem to offer any more than the Dasher - which was running 80gn Sierras at 3400fps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris-NZ Posted April 8, 2014 Report Share Posted April 8, 2014 Can't see how'd there'd be any advantage over a 6x47. A decent 105 in the 6mm hoses over most .22 cal projectiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roesika Posted April 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 Hi there Vince I have a 6x284 and have just sold a 6x47 both very good but always wanted to try a fast .22 cf with high bc bullets for shooting vermin at longer ranges, what would you think the barrel life would be like for a 22x47 ack lapua . I would like to shoot 75gr amax at 3500 fps and a friend has a 22-250 ackley reamer, he has made a couple of 22-250 ackleys but I don't think the barrel life was great. I would probably need to use some shortened 22-250 ackley dies for the 22x47 ack lapua. Regards Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regards Mike Hi roe , just in case you didn't know HORNADY have suspended ALLOT of bullet production , i know for definite the .224 Amaxs 52 , 75 , 80 are all stopped ! So before you go ordering a PTG reamer throated for one of these or any other suspended bullet bear this in mind ! It could be a big mistook!

Regards Mike The 22 Dasher did about 600 - in benchrest (where we fire five rounds in about 12 secs.0 For vermin shooting, I would say double that.
