Proof of a 6.5x47 Primer test

[GSSP]

6.5x47 Lapua
Pierce short action
26" SS #3 Broughton 5C
2lb Rifle Basix trigger
PTG bottom metal
Pierce 20 MOA pic rail
Farrell alum rings
NF 2.5-10-32

140 Partition
41.6 Rel 17
CCI 450
seated .017" off lands

After first running a ladder, then some verification groups, then a few more to narrow down the powder charge in .2 gr increments, I shot a seating depth test this past Saturday. I thought I was done since the CCI 450 is "THE" primer in my big Surgeon pushing the 130 VLD and H4350; .49 MOA, 10-shots.

At the last moment, I decided, for the heck of it to run a primer test with what I had laying around the house. GLAD I DID!

Note: I changed zero after the Rem 7-1/2 test.

Have you tried Wolf SRM?

Interesting, I have yet to try my new 6.5 on paper yet, (winter bad here) I have my initial loads done up with CCI 450's after reading on here, but have always loved Federal primers. If the 450's don't show me anything, then its Federal.

yep its definatly worth trying in the 6.5x47. we cant get wolfs so i tryed br4 and 205's and they were both beta than the 450's. decided on br4s.

I have only used 450’s in my 6.5x47. I don’t need another variable to worry about. 37.8 Varget and the 130 HVLD is my hunting load for the season. I shot a
Pierce action on a friends rifle. Smoothest action I have ever cycled.

Yep and I walked right into it. Primers haven’t changed much since then. Need to quit biting on the “ similar threads section”
