[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 3939666, member: 48072"] Today I started my initial load development for my second 6.5x47L. It basically consisted of selecting the first bullets and powders/charge weights to use. The first bullet was easy as I have had good luck with it in factory form during my initial barrel break-in: Group 1 (4 shots two weeks ago): .473" Group 2 (4 shots two weeks ago): .501" Group 3 (5 shots yesterday): .518" Group 4 (5 shots yesterday): .669" Group 5 (5 shots yesterday): .5xx" for four, but I had an unexplained flier that opened it up to about an inch. It is a good baseline to work off of, and I happen to have 1K component bullets of that make. I'm going to try VV N150 because I have eight pounds of the stuff. Bullet #2 will be the 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tip...mostly because I would like to keep this rig next to the door during deer season. Max range for a shot would be about 340 yards, which is still in the wheelhouse of that cartridge/bullet combo. Powder will be Varget due to the temp insensitivity. I chamfered and deburred 50 new Lapua cases today after running them over an expander ball a couple weeks ago. Other than that, I completed the brass prep on the first 50 rounds of 7mm RM for my brother's rifle. [/QUOTE]
