6.5x47 lapua once fired

[backdoorsally]

What's the best price a guy can get for once fired brass from factory loaded 6.5x47 lapua?

 

[Alpheus]

$110 per 100?

It would depend on the chamber it was fired in... how does it look? Almost like factory or bulgy?

Haven't bought new brass for awhile. But when I did last time I thought it was $130 per 100 for Lapua. So if it's in good shape and wasn't pushed way over pressure maybe $75-80?? It's such tough brass that ive read about about guys re barreling before their original 100 brass is used up. I really like the 6.5x47. Have two of them.

So basically half of what it would cost to buy new brass?

Nah, you should be able to get more then that. Once fired 308 goes for around 70, new its $94.

What is the condition of the brass. Once fired means nothing really. Is it a factory rifle or a tight custom chamber... post a good picture of a fired brass..

Do any manufacturers make factory rifles in 6.5x47?

 

[guntech]

At least one European manufacturer...

Personally, i would be leary of buying used brass for a precision rifle - may be more work than its worth! As guntech eludes to, if shot in a loose chamber, and your rifles chamber is tight, it will be nothing but a headache... Been there done that with 260 brass. Now its new brass for each rifle and life is good!
I just had a rifle rebarrelled to 6.5x47, and yowsa does it shoot! Fresh Lapua brass and a 130 hybrid is MONEY!
