6X47 Lapua / 105-115g load suggestions

[TroyG]

I have ahunter style and a bench gun custom builds. Same reamer. I shoot 40.5 H4350 with a CCI Bench rest primer. Both guns love it. Shoots better than I can.

What are you running for velocity with this combo?

26" Rock Creek 8t; 42.2g RL26, 115 JLK, .020" jump.
3050fps. 700 rounds down the barrel.

Did initial LD with both H4350 & RL26 with 105's.
SD's were low single digits w. H4350; and mid single digits with RL26.
However, H4350 was border line pressure. I've shoot RL26 as high as 45g w. When testing and No pressure signs (3220fps w. 105's)

My accuracy node was too fast for PRS/steel so I switched to 115g.

Mine is a 1/8 twist kreiger and I shot 39.5 grains of H4350 with a 108 Euber bullet. 5 shot groups at 200 are in the high .2-low .3's and it averages 1.4" at 500 yds in match conditions.

Steve, I have just purchased my first precision gun in 6x47 Lapua and am excited to get started reloading. I am running a 28" Bartlein 1:7.5 shooting at altitudes over 3000' above sea level. I want to focus on just a couple of bullets and really like the characteristics of the 115gr DTACs, 115gr Berger VLD TGT, and Sierra 110gr HPBT. Since I am just starting out with a wildcat cartridge I am thinking of Copper Creek load development packs, but am curious in your recommendation for a good place to start powder and primer wise with the larger bullets.

I replied to you in PM, hope you got it.

So far I still like H4831sc but my reamer has a long freebore - .208", bottom of bearing surface is above N/S junction. 115 DTACS were my favorite. 115vlds were a pain to keep in tune.

As soon as I run out of 105 hybrids (bought enough to use up current barrel) I think I'll go back to the DTACS, the new DTACS I mean.

Berger Lists 87/88 grain weights in their book for the 6-6.5x47 Lap, you should be able to extrapolate from that.

Gentlemen, I'm running a trued Remmy 700, Bartlein 1-7.5 , 26" barrel. Using 40.0 H4350, & Berger 105 Hybrids. Excellent accuracy! Good luck with your 6x47!!!!!!! I love mine!! Idaho-45

I run 39.0 grains of H4350 behind both the 105 Hybrid and the 108 Berger BT. Fairly mild load, around 3100...but VERY accurate. Good BBL life and GREAT brass life!!!

I concur based on experiences with three rifles and maybe 12-15 barrels. I would encourage you to also try Re16 and russian primers (with either 4350 or RE16). I've always jammed hybrids a bit with good results.
