The 6.5×47mm Lapua (designated as the 6,5 × 47 Lapua by the C.I.P.) [1] is a smokeless powder rimless bottlenecked rifle cartridge that was developed specifically for 300–1,000 m (328–1,094 yd) competition shooting by ammunition maker Nammo Lapua and the Swiss rifle manufacturer Grünig & Elmiger AG in 2005.
