just recieved my 6.5x47 lap

[SJF]

Hi all my name is Sam Foreman im fairly new here but if anyone want to have a yarn send me a message.
I have just received me custom 6.5x47 lap build on a rem 700
its fully trued squared and blue printed
features a krieger HV barrel, HS precision pst-25 stock, leupold 6.5-20x50 LR scope and jewell match trigger set at about 200gm. so i have fired 35 rounds through it just to run it in using the 120gr nosler b-tip.
I have just got some nosler 130gr accubonds and am wondering if anyone has done any reloading with the 130gr weight bullets using AR2209 powder,Hodgdon H4350).
I would have uploaded some pics but 151kb max is just silly
the smallest pic i have is 850kb.

Hi SJF, congratulations on your new rifle!
How it shoots?

For photos, put the photos on a site as Photobucket.com and just copy the link tag [image] of the photo on the post.

Photobucket.com will size your photo for "message board",it is an option you have to mark).

I think there is some posts here teaching how to post pictures,may be on classified section...).

SJF to show the picture on the Forum, you have to copy what is written next to "IMG CODE", bellow the photo you upload on Photobucket.

It will be something like:

After you post the message, instead of the code above, will appear your photo.

So far i have only put 35 rounds through it to run it in, all of these i have fired off the bonnet of me Land Rover with no rest.
It is doing about MOA in this time, i hope to go out on sunday or monday to try the first loads with 130 gr accubonds and about 38.5gr of AR2209. ill let u know how it goes after that.

120gr nos b-tip, 38.6gr AR2208, seated off the lands, vel av = 3020 fps, group @ 100m = .37" very high es and sd

120gr nos b-tip, 39.0gr RL15, seated off the lands, vel av = 3000 fps, group @ 200m = 1.75" windy that day

123 SMK, 37.5gr RL15, seated off the lands, vel av = 2900 fps, group @ 100m = .4"

130 berger vld, 40gr AR2209, seated in the lands, vel av = 2835 fps, group @ 200m = .8" with little wind that day
