RL 16 in 6.5x47L behind 130-140 VDL's

[bsekf]

Anybody using RL 16 with 130-140 gr bullets in 6.5x47L? Can you get enough of it in the case without compressing? Did it give you the accuracy of Varget or RL 15?

Well, Capstone didn't have much for me. But! This morning I shot a ladder using Varget and RL16 behind a 130 Nosler RDF in a 6.5x47L.

The Varget had a node at 37.....I expected that.

Had an node at 38.5 and 39 (RL16), so will do some seating tests in that range. What little info I have, it appears others have found accuracy at 40 and up.... that's getting close to max and darn hard to get into the case. Already have a Varget load for the 130 Berger that shoots .5 MOA. I'm not shooting BR, just a CBI barreled Savage in my own stock....... so I am thrilled with 5 in < 1 inch at 200 yards.
