6.5x47 lapua/85gr sierra

[lutheran]

Looking to use 6.5x47 lapua for a little coyote hunting this fall. Hoping to find information on what powder/powders produce best velocities with 85gr. sierra.

thanks

I did testing with 81 grain Cauteruccio flat based bullets. You can use Varget or RL-15 or step up to faster powders like VV N530 or VV N135. On the 81 grain Cauteruccio, N530 produced a maximum of 3792 fps with an ES of 9 and SD of 3 on a 28 inch barrel. No guarantee on brass life or on how long your barrel will last.. I did the load work up and testing and put it aside.
