6.5x47L die set for 6-6.5x47L

[katur83]

I have a 6.5x47L and I love it, I am thinking of building a 6x47L now.
I have a redding type S full and neck sizing die and a redding competition seating die for 6.5x47L, can I use my existing die set for the 6x47L with different bushings?

I am also thinking about 6XC I have heard that the 6XC is easier to get to shoot and the 6X47L can be more finicky do you know if that is the case? I have also thought about the 6mmbr but I am going with a 7.5 twist and 105-115gr bullets and I like shooting long range.

I have not shot the 6x47L but did a 22x47L and used the redding 6.5x47L bushing dies with the correct bushing sizes.

Thanks for the info...

Though I like my 6.5x47L it took me a long time to get a good load for it and it is somewhat sensitive to weather and conditions, could be the small rifle primer because I often shoot in cold weather and it could also just be the barrel. But if the 6XC is easier to get a good load for and will stay better in tune with that is worth the extra cost for new die set to me.

Maybe I should just accept 2850fps with the 105gr and go with the 6mmbr

This is a single shot barnard action so feeding is not going to be an issue.

I have a 6x47L that I load with 6.5 x47L Dies with the appropriate bushings.A fellow member gave me a starting point then I did a ladder test at 300m.All ten shots where within 1.5" so I picked one from the middle.This gives me a velocity of 3750fps and will shoot .3 at 300m I should add this is with the 75gr V-Max and Varget I found it a very easy cartridge to get a load for 8).
