caption_attribution_description: English: As can be seen here even very long target bullets can be loaded without pushing the bullet below the neck. On the left is a Lapua FMJ 144gr bullet and on the right is a Hornady 123gr A-Max. These are loaded to an COAL of 2.71in and even when loaded out that long they still have plenty of room to fit in the magazine of a standard short action rifle.
context_page_description: The 6.5×47mm Lapua is a smokeless powder rimless bottlenecked rifle cartridge that was developed specifically for 300–1,000 m competition shooting by ammunition maker Nammo Lapua and the Swiss rifle manufacturer Grünig & Elmiger AG in 2005. Other common names for this cartridge include 6.5×47mm.
context_section_description: The cartridge has many special features, including:
  The cartridge chamber dimensions are optimized for target bullets.
  High pressure level (435.00 MPa (63,091 psi) Pₘₐₓ piezo pressure) and cartridge case capacity enables relative high velocity and flat trajectory.
  Reduced barrel wear compared to 6mm Norma BR
  The 6.5×47mm Lapua has a base diameter and overall length similar to the 7.62×51mm NATO/.308 Winchester, allowing it to accept the same bolt heads and fit into similar short actions and magazines.
caption: Thanks to the relatively long neck of the 6.5×47mm Lapua, it can be loaded with very long target bullets without placing the base of the bullet below the neck. This eliminates the "donut problem" seen by many cases that get reloaded over 20 times. Left to right: Lapua FMJ 144gr, Hornady 123gr loaded to a COAL of 2.71in, and a Hornady 123gr A-Max.
