Thread: Seriously underrated 6.5x47 Lapua

Nice one Wingman - show us what the RL16 can do! Any chance of also reporting the CoL with each please so we have all the necessaries for QuickLOAD comparisons?

Sure I will list this for you here too. Thanks for the email too, Ive been meaning to return one but work has been crazy this week.
Forgot to mention, the 123gr lapua and A-max's are loaded with 39.8gr of 2208 (varget) not RL16. This is the max charge in my rifle for the 123gr bullets.

I have already run tests with RL16 behind the 123gr bullets and the average velocity from 5 shots with 41.5gr (same load as above-full case) was 2954fps for the A-max and 2948fps with the Scenars. 40gr of 2208 gives approx 3030fps but was showing light pressure.

I have also tested BM 8208 with the 123gr bullets, my max load of 36.5gr gives me an av of 2910fps with Scenars and 2938fps wit Amax's.
36.0gr of BM 8208 behind the 130gr TMK gave 2818fps.

Will be shot from my 24" long Trueflite 1-8" twist. All primed with CCI BR-4s and neck sized twice fired brass.
All seated approx 10 thou off lands.
COAL's as follows:

130gr Hornady ELDM 2.755"
136gr Lapua Scenar L 2.740"
130gr Sierra TMK 2.775"
139gr Lapua Scenar 2.685"
143gr Hornady ELDX 2.780"
130gr Berger VLD Hunter 2.690"
123gr Lapua Scenar 2.720"
123gr Hornady A-Max 2.725"
