Come on Adam. Thats not fair. You can't keep that kind of info a secret. That would sure help generation more interest in the 22-47L. I stopped looking for info on that a couple of years ago when folks told me just slightly better then a 22-250.
 
Can any of you guys give the coal of a 22-47L using 90gr or at least an 80 gr bullet? I would appreciate it, greatly.

Did I miss something here? Adam, why are you making 22x47L brass from 308 brass? The OP was looking for 22x47L info. I think it would be really hard to get 3650 fps with a 75 gr bullet from a case that is just slightly bigger then 22-250 and smaller then the 22-250 improved.

The 6.5x47L has an H2O capacity of around 48.0. The 308 around 54.0. The 22-250 ai around 44.0. My math gives the 308 alot more push than other two by quite a difference. The 22-250 ai isn't even close to the 308 case capacity. Like comparing a 223 and 22-250.
 
Most old reloaders would know to reduce the load and work up to the listed load - or at least check their manuals to see if it fit their reload procedure. Some of those who don't have much time reloading might use the powder charge with different component without reduction and injure themselves. If I post a load that I use I make sure that people know that they should not use it without checking and my 357 load is for strong Ruger actions and Contenders because it was known to twist frames and loosen side plates of S&W and other similar revolvers.
 
I am going to spin up a barrel for myself, and the kids rifles, Both 8" twist for 80g Berger Hybrids or Hornady ELDX. Just waiting on reamer and blanks to show up. I am planning on turning my 22-250 brass into the 22x47L. Looks like it should be good to go, the base is slightly larger than the x47. But you will be able to run 10 in a AICS mag without it going stupid like the 22-250 does. I am going to use my 6x47 dies to get things started then have Whidden make me a new die set for it.

I will measure the COAL of the Berger 80.5 as I am shooting now and the Berger 90 gr dummy round that I plan to try out after coyote hunting slows down.

BTW- I chose a 7 twist barrel in hopes of shooting the 90 grain bullets as well as the 80.5s.

What powder did you end up using with your 22x47 and the Berger 80.5 ?
