6.5x47 with Reloader 16?

[4guns]

Has anybody used Reloader 16 in the 6.5x47 Lapua? Have seen loads for Reloader 17 but not 16.
Using 129 to 140 grain bullets.

Thanks for any help.

It showed great velocity on quick load but filled the case to where I couldn't a consistent seating depth. Went back to H4350.

I had great luck with a Berger 140 VLD target. 38g and a .002 jump was one hole at 100 yards.

R-16 is bulkier then H-4350, but I'd lean more towards R-15, 15.5,
and Varget. Varget will give you better case fills.

38.8gr of Reloder 16 under a 130gr ELD-M is a hammer of a load out of one of my 6.5x47s. I use it for coyote control.

i tested many powders . H4350 can not be beat with 140, 142 class bullets. Tommy Mc

I ran a pound of 16 through my 6.5X47. No better of worst than H4350.
