Sierra MK 120gr in 6.5x47 Lapua - any good recipe?

[x_wolf]

I have spent my last box of 140 A-Max. But I also found in my shop some green boxes with the small 120 Sierra MK. Do you guys have any good recipe for it?
My 6.5x47 is 27" bbl, it has 8" twist and there are available Lapua cases, CCI 450 and Hodgdon H4350 or Varget for me.
Thx.

I used to shoot the 123 SMKs and the 123 Scenars. My best load for BOTH bullets were either 38.0grs of Varget or RL-15. You can go a smidgen higher, however, in 2 barrels that load shot the best. Try from 37.4 to 38.2 and see where it lands best>>> I would bet money on right at 38.0grs..

H4350-39.3
Sierra 123 grain, touching the lands
CCI-450
Lapua brass
That shoots .2ish to .3 in my gun at 100. I’m still playing with it at 500.
I found a deal on the 120s and 123s so I bought a ton of them. The 120s did pretty well but I focused on using the 123s first.
