Would anyone be able to share some of their real world results/velocities from load development for a 6.5x47L using a 22 inch barrel (or thareabouts) and 130gr pills? I'm considering a short barreled build but don't want to make a bad mistake. Various searches on other forums seem to have results all over the map, so I figured the ever-honest CGNrs wouldn't give the straight goods.

Thanks in advance!
 
Some loads from a different site. Also pm'd you a link to about 7 pages of load data.


6.5X47 Lapua
Surgeon Scalpel Kreiger 28in, 1 in 8.5in twist

139gr Lapua Scenar moly
Lapua brass
CCI small rifle magnum primer
RL-15 37.0gr
2.70 COAL short jump to lands (.03)
mean muzzle velocity 2828fps, spread from 2820 to 2837, standard deviation 14.5 with 25 round sample size
Shooting .25 to .5 MOA at 100 yards with me pulling the trigger. May improve with a better shooter.



6.5x47
28" Bartlein MTU
130 JLK, BC .620
OAL 2.800, 0.010 into lands
41.5 h4350
Russian primers
QL says 2970fps +, no chrono data yet
Shoots pert good, target pics in other threads
Edit
I,m going to bump load to 42.3 just to try something, settle on something between 41.5 42.3



I am looking for any load data/experience for the following:
6.5x47L
140VLD
RL17

I have used RL17 with decent success with Berger 130gr VLD upto 2950fps, .5" group at 100yds. I can push the 130VLD to 3000fps but accuracy degrades to about 1 to 1.2".

Any info or experiences would be appreciated.
