130/140 6.5x47 bullet selection

[Rtheurer]

It would shoot decent group, less than an inch at 100 yards, using a 1-8 twist Bartlein. Once I switched to 140 grains bullets Hybrids and Varget I could literally put 5 shot group in the same hole. It was just so easy to figure out a load for it.

Would love to see some of those 1 hole groups!!!

140gr Berger Hybrid.36.0 Varget. CCI 450. And of course the first cold bore flyer. I got another group which I had to make when I switched to Federal Match primers. In that one I use 36.5 Varget. I'm at work so I will post picture later.

My 6.5x47L consistently shoots the 123gr Lapua better than any other bullet, It likes the Berger 130 Hybrids as well.
Its chambered with .160 FB and I jam .005 over a moderate load of RL15.

Good luck with it.
