PETERSON 40038-R 6.5X47 LAPUA 50/10

Peterson Cartridge 6.5x47 Lapua brass is engineered for shooters who demand precision without the frustration of finicky load development. This 50-round box (packed 10 per bag) delivers the brass foundation that top-tier competitors and serious handloaders depend on—a caliber that's equally forgiving for beginners exploring accuracy work and experienced reloaders pushing limits at distance.

The 6.5x47 Lapua has earned its reputation across competitive and hunting communities for one key reason: it's genuinely easy to find accurate loads. Unlike calibers with narrow "accuracy nodes" or unpredictable powder charge windows, the 6.5x47 Lapua exhibits a broad range of stable powder charges that consistently group tight. That forgiving nature means less load-development frustration, faster path to the range, and more time shooting accurately. Real-world durability is another strength—documented shooters have run 3,000+ rounds through a single barrel in this caliber and still maintained sub-minute-of-angle groups at 1,000 yards, even with significant throat wear and the same load data.

Peterson brass is built to the same exacting standards that competitors and precision shooters expect, with consistent case geometry and concentricity that supports repeatable, accurate handloads. Whether you're developing new loads, load-testing at the range, or stocking up for a long season, Peterson 6.5x47 Lapua brass provides the reliable foundation serious shooters and handloaders need.
