N150 in 6.5x47

[MOShooter]

Anyone running N150 with 140s in a 6.5x47. I have a few lbs and that I want to use up. What is the load range. I've used up to 41.0gn of H4350 in this barrel. Using that and Varget as a guideline I've loaded 35.5-38.4 up to try. Am I in the ballpark?

I used to load the 123gn Lapua Scenar over 39.0gn N150 for a shade over 3,000 fps (30-inch barrel) and it was a bit 'warm'. The chamber throat was short though - set-up for 123s and the COAL at right on 2.650" with the Scenars 15 thou' 'out'. The barrel was never a good one either coppering badly and with a short life even though I initially had some good groups and F-Class results.

If your chamber has greater freebore to suit 140s, N150 and your loads should work well for you. I did work up to 37.5gn with the 136gn Scenar L for 2,850 fps and without any pressure problems at all, but as the groups weren't as good as with the 123s, I stopped there.
