6.5x47 lapua

I imagine the 6.5 Staball will work well. It's a bit slower than 4350, but it'll fill the case with high density so you can get way more powder in there than with RL-16, for example, which I use with good success. RL-16 is about the same speed as Staball from what I've observed but is much lower density. 40 grains of RL-16 and it starts crunching during seating for me, but I'm also getting tremendous speed, suggesting that I'm up near max pressure anyway. You'll get way more Staball in there than that before running out of room! You may find that you need a pretty hot primer, like a CCI 450, to ignite the Staball consistently, although your accuracy and ES will let you know how it is working.
