6.5x47 9 twist loads?

[sbrabec]

Hi all
I'm new to the 6.5x47. What bullets will I be able to shoot with the 9 twist and what velocites will I see. I know mine will vary, just looking for a ball park. It's a 4 groove, 27" barrel.
Thanks
Scott

I'm shooting a 1-8.5 ROT Krieger and getting fantastic accuracy using the 123 gr. SMK and the Berger 130 VLD so I think you may try these also! I'm using Varget at 39.0 gr. with a BR-4 primer! Accuracy is greater than OUTSTANDING!! Same load with both bullets! Both shoot to the same POI!!

My 6.5x47 is a nine twist and the 123 gr SMK with H4350 powder shoot best.

Scott, this gun was a 6.5-06 before I had it rechambered to 6.5x47, but with the 6.5-06 chambering I shot the 140gr and 142gr SMK and they shot very well at about 3000fps. with the 6.5x47 I shot up to 130gr. bergers and they stabelized out to 547 yards. With the 123Gr. SMK with 41.5 of H4350 I got 3050fps with good accuracy. I tried R15 powder but It didn't shoot as well as the H4350. My barrel is 28" long.
