I decided to load some target rounds for the 6.5x47L as I am going to do some Club meets at the NRA this year. Still being fairly green as far as reloading goes and with the rather limp start initially with my Hunting loads still fresh in my mind, I decided to start right in the middle of the suggested Min and Max load for the Scenars.
This being 32gr, 32.2gr and 32.5gr of N140, CCI 450 Magnum Primers with a COL of 2.736"
Even though the wind was a bit fresh today, I am lucky to have a nice pit that I can test things in, it does not stop the wind but calms it a bit. I am amazed that as the load went up, the group tightened some much with just half a grains difference.
And yes, I know, 3 shots groups???
Anyway the pic shows the results of my first three Scenar loads, job done I reckon. Just luck though, not claiming to be 'Super Reloader' all the same I am very chuffed indeed.
Not quite so dramatic a change on the 123gr Scenars, still a work in progress.
