Scott,Just got my rifle home with a brand new 6.5x47 barrel. Ready to load up some 130 hybrids. Has anyone been running these? My starting point will be H4350 and CCI 450. I loaded up some from 36-40.7 in .5gr increments moving to .3 above 39.5. My OAL is 3.170 at .0022 off the lands.

Scott,
Here is the Berger Load data . All this data is based on a COAL of 2.800.
H4350
Start = 35.5gr
Max = 39.7gr
Approximate velocities are 2491 to 2790 FPS
Approximate fill ratio = 102% (slightly compressed)
Are these bullets Our 6.5 130 AR OTM bullets ?
on my new 6.5x47 I have 28in barrel. I liked the 140 hybreds better so I load 40gr h-4350 10 off to get 2850fps and this load is good out to 1400yds.Just got my rifle home with a brand new 6.5x47 barrel.

My Mistake, I looked under Target and Hunting, but not Tactical.

mine is a 28 inch 8 twist 5R Bartlien with 130 VLDs loaded .010 off at 2.800 OAL I am running 41.2 H4350 and Tula 5.56 Magnum primers and gettin 2980 fps,,
primer pockets have lasted 15+ cycles so I assume the load is fine,,

I tested up to 40.7 today. I didn't see any signs of pressure, but the case is getting pretty full. I've been hearing of food results in the 41 range. I guess I'll have to work up a little higher.
If you are certain about not seeing pressure signs but are running out of case space use a longer drop tube and a slow pour, you will be able to get more in the case.
The Berger 6.5mm 130 GR Hybrid OTM Tactical Bullet was designed by Berger to be specifically optimized for maximum performance in magazine length ammo and that is why it is listed as a Tactical Bullet.
