Thanks! Awesome coverage on 25x47 .

[@Designhunter9125]

Thanks! Know it may be a bit long on the conversation but also know guys and gals are at different points in the progression of the sport.

I’ve been shooting the 25 Lapua for 3 years now. I’ve been using Le Wilson full length S 6.5 Lapua dies with bushing and for seating I use Le Wilson seater die for 6.5 Lapua on the K&M arbor press.

Good way to go about it. I need some more time in match condition behind the 25 cal but pretty smooth

Just found your channel. I’m in northern Indiana, do you ever get out to Youngs Long Shot in Wolcottville? Great timing on your series. I have a structured barrel from Tacom HQ that’s a .257 1:7. I was going to do 25 Creedmoor but I built one and the recoil was almost the same as a 6.5. The 25GT peaked my interest but the X47 is a great option also.

I do get up there a few times a year. Have a couple of buddies that are members there. Also appreciate your feedback on the videos.

[@michaelg1164]

On one of your other videos I noticed you had a GA precision barrel, but have switched to 5x5. What prompted the switch?

[@bawhitham23]

I can’t remember where I saw it but there is a small cut out that allows the collet to go in and out easier if you look at the cap you’ll see it’s cut out a little wider. Not really a big deal but I never knew til it was pointed out to me .

[@Designhunter9125]

Thanks for the heads up. I’ll take a look

[@jMichael8765]

Did you ask Wilson if they would make you a 25x47 seater? They just made me a 25 Creedmoor seater

[@Designhunter9125]

I didn’t ask. But good to know.

[@luismariscal3601]

25 x47 is a 6.5 Lapua necked down to 25 no need to have a custom die made

[@jMichael8765]

@@luismariscal3601 25 creedmoor is a 6.5 creedmoor necked down to 25. Can you use a seater 6.5x47 seater? Yes. Is it a perfect fit? No

[@jMichael8765]

And to clarify, I’m not saying you can use a 6.5x47 for a 25 Creedmoor.

[@luismariscal3601]

Yes I understand what your saying I have a 6 Creed also plus a 6.5x 47 and 25x47 and even a 25x45 Sharps all in custom builds in bolt guns . Wasn’t intending anything wrong just letting others know that no custom made dies are needed.
