[QUOTE="diggler1833, post: 4009532, member: 48072"] Loaded and shot 30 rounds for my first 6.5x47 today. Went from virgin brass to 1x fired. Bumped the shoulder .002, while virgin was .005. Chose two combos that had previously worked great, and loaded 3x5 rounds for groups...kind of bracketing the best charge by a couple tenths of a grain. Lesson learned: it looks like both loads like a 1% increase from virgin...I should have known better. The low and middle charge sucked 😄. However the "high" charge for both loads just clipped the start of the happy place for my barrel. ^ My Krieger has a distinct "scatter node" that is usually 1% off from throwing its tightest group. Today was no different. I went from a 1.052" to a .370", and it looks like one or two more tenths will get me exactly where I want to be. I did notice that velocity stayed the same though in charge weights from virgin to 1x fired brass...or at least that's what my chrono told me. [/QUOTE]
