Any suggestions for 6.5-47 using 123g sst or 130g Sierra hpbt
prefferably something that is actually being used rather than a load from a friend.

Many thanks in advance chaps
 
I have found this lot so far feller
123gr Lapua Scenar @ 2930 fps, 37.2gr RL15, CCI BR4, Lapua brass. hav't found a 130gr yet! but they do seam to have been there and done that and got it sorted over in the usa.

    It's been a good year for 6.5 mm. The .260 Remington has hit full stride after a ramp-up of several years, with top competitors at most field-style long-range ...
also this 6.5x47

or:
Products - Lapua but a long tube and 1in 8.5 twist


I have talked with Gavin and i am sorted thanks.:D
 
i know its like being at the back of the ice cream van waiting for your one to come lol .still parts are slowly coming to do the build just got to pay for it all now . this is harder than buying a new truck.
 
I use 36g of either n140 or varget with the 123 scenar and 37g varget with the 120g Nosler BT. Both moderate loads and very accurate but I haven't tried 130s. Lots of info on UK Varminting on this

38gn of varget and a 120/123 gn bullet WILL give sub .5 moa 5 shot groups, as long as it was screwed together properly

what barrel length is those figures for
 
Pierred,
Check the recommended twist rate for those 130s I read recently on 6mmBR site that some don't like a quick spin!
I'm working up N140 on 140g Amax at the moment, up to 35g and no sign of high presure long way to go i recon but that is in 1in 8 twist.
I also got some fair results on the Amax 120s on N140 36g see the 6.5 link on accurate shooter.
Cheers
Rupe
