I don’t much care for the Berger seating depth test. Rather, I shoot them 5 in and 10,20,30 off before I ever start powder work.
I think that’s the most efficient way to find a good load. After that, just do a little powder work and you’re good to go.
I start my load development tomorrow on the new Beanland.
My 6.5 barrel was shot out, so I had him build me an entire new one with a TL3 and a Proof barrel.Which Beanland did you have built?

My old SR2 will become my wife’s 6 BRA.
Very cool. I am about to order a Hawk Hill 7mm "heavy sporter" for next year build. Probably a 280 AI again. Interested to hear how your Proof barrel performs. Have a buddy interested in rebarreling a Christiansen Arms 300 Ultra Mag with a Proof barrel. He will hope to use Jon.

YUP,.. H-4350 and StaBall 65, work Real WELL, in my 6.5 Creed. w/ 130's at, 2,850+ fps !I think H4350 will give you a little more velocity than Varget for same pressures. I did not see pressure at 37.7gr Varget and the 130 HVLD. This said, it is well above a book max load and the hybrid may have a little more bearing surface than the HVLD. I could not push the 135gr Berger Classic Hunter anywhere near as fast as the 130 HVLD.
Photo is last time this gun was fired prior to last weekend. Was 7 years ago. Switched to 280AI for a while..
I wanted H4350 to work for me but Varget was the best fuel. Seems to have worked quite well for you with the same bullet. Very nice.
YepAre the above targets and loads 6.5x47?
