Had a buddy get close to 3400 rounds down the last tube with no set back !!!!!!!!
however he was using 123 scenar's not the amax's
pretty impressive on round count

Yes, have taken them past 600... to 1K.
I've taken the 120Amax to 1K as well...
A dose of Re17 under it will getcha there.

IMR 8208 XBR is another powder to look at. I was previous shooting 123 Scenar with RE15 but it is a bit temperature sensitive. I tested IMR 8208 XBR and it did tighten the groups but haven't shot in the heat yet.

Please expound on XBR & the 6.5x47. From all the research I've done, it shoots well but leaves something to be desired in the velocity department.
I'm all ears!

No, I'm using a Hornady comparator.
Be careful running that fast. I changed pills due to throat erosion so I have a little more in the boiler room than usual. 38.5 gave me a vertical spread, 39.0 a horizontal and 39.3 brought them together. Going to try it at 385m this weekend to see if they stay together. Much of our shooting is done between 425 and 925 yards. You never know what will happen to a load when it is stretched out. I am using a Tubbs muzzle brake which you can use to tune harmonics to a point.

Re: Help with 6.5x47 and 123 A max's
I went out this mornin and shot my first 2 groups with the A maxes
and I get 4 into a nice little sweet group
THEN I get one out in the boonies (about 1/2")
both groups of 5 had 4 tho diff in seating depth so what is causing that? ideas
