7x47

Anyone still playing with this one and have some load data for a 120 grain bullet and varget?

Anyone with quick load willing to give me some ideas ?
My wife stole my laptop so I can't do quickload just yet.

I hope someone chimes in, as I have one in process and should be ready in a couple of weeks. My main focus will be with 130 gr SMKs, though.

That sounds good.
I started a 6.5x47l and all is going good then i realize I grabbed a 7mm 8 twist instead of my 6.5 8 twist and decided to just go
7x47l with it.
I wasn't sure what to do with it
until then.
funny how things happen that change your direction

I’ve been shooting one for a while. I shoot IMR 8208 XBR with the lighter bullets.

I start with 39.0 grains and work up.

My load for the Speer 110 TNT is 41.3 grains of 8208 XBR. I’m currently using Federal GM primers.

This has been an excellent load.

If you look at the spreadsheet attached to this article http://www.accurateshooter.com/guns-of-week/7x47-lapua-wildcat-cartridge/ you will find other ideas for a starting load. Including, IIRC, Varget.

Addendum: Here is the direct link. But, it’s not loading for me right now.

If you look at this thread,

http://forum.accurateshooter.com/threads/7x47-lapua.3801988/page-2#post-36794071

There is data on the 120 Nosler using 8208 XBR.

If you have questions, I’d be happy to assist.
