6.5x47 Vihtavuori load with 139 Scenars?

[ChrisNZ]

Can any of you guys suggest a load for 139s using either N140 or 550? My clubmate has been unable to get more of the usual 123s as there was a fire onboard the boat carrying the new stocks.. He does however have a decent supply of 139s which he shoots in his Ackley Swede which unfortunately is nearing the end of its barrel life.

thanks

In a Border 5R, 1:8.5, 28" long.
CCI BR4 + N150 (2,41g-2.42g[37.2gr-37.3gr]) + Scenar 139gr + 0.2mm of the lands in a CIP chamber -> 840m/s (2750ftps) & 1/2MOA@300m
I do not use the N5xx series any more due to more heat generated ...

Thanks again.

Tell me- do you know Robert Chombard by any chance? Lives in Normandy and along with Phillipe Ginestet is one of the original designers of the RPA action. My clubmates made the later variation of the CG2000, namely the Millennium action.

I didn't had the pleasure to speak front to front with him, but send emails to him about CG StageII...

Have a look at this old website:

My clubmates no longer make this gear but they still do any gunsmithing.
There is a picture of Robert on the bottom of the home page, in fact I took it ;D.
