I just built a 6x47 lapua with a 1:14 twist so ill be shooting 70 gr nosler tips. was wondering if anyone had any loads they would like to share with me.

thanks

I have a 1-10 and shoot the 75 v-max.With all the usual warning my load is 39.6 grains of Varget .This is a group a mate shot at 300m of a bipod in less than ideal conditions the rifle is a Sako A11.I have seen the performance of the 70 nosler and while they are empathetic performer the V-max is cheaper.

Do you have the permission of that handsome bloke to post his pic L461

Varget definitely works well under the lighter projectiles in the 6x47.

Re: 6x47 lapua reload help, 58 gr 65 gr and 70 gr bullets

58 gr Vmax with 38.1 gr of H4895, CCI 450, at 3750 fps, my favorite coyote load
65 gr Vmax with 37.6 gr of H4895, CCI 450, at 3665 fps
70 gr bullet with 37.1 gr of H4895, CCI 450

Start .4 gr low and work up to see what your barrel likes.

Speed is fun to talk about, but accuracy kills...

I have a .268 neck that shoots nice groups with the Nosler's using 36.5 grains of Varget and the 450 CCI primers. I'm using a 1 in 10 Kreiger at 25 inches plus muzzle brake. According to my Magneto speed chrono it's doing 3450. I thought I would get more speed, but it's plenty enough as my coyote round

so i guess varget is the most popular choice for gun powder

another powder...my 12 twist gets unbelievable velocity with 80 gr fowlers and rel 17...40+ gr, 20 thous into lands.

What coal do y'all have using the 70gr bullets

 

[6brxdude]

I'm using a 2.50" COAL for the NBT 70 grn bullets. I had Dave Kiff build the reamer for these bullets
