    Re: Load development for 6.5x47 Clinto, Now you're thinking! When ever you see steady and large increases, those are the areas you should probably try and skip over. When you see areas where the increases are small and maybe even negative, those are the areas you want to first focus on...

    Eberlestock Customer Service

    Re: Eberlestock Customer Service Back in Sept 08, as I was heading up to Alaska on a hunt, I was using my J107 Firefly as a "carry-on" to get my IMPORTANT stuff to camp. In the SLC airport, just as I lifted the quite heavy pack by the top carry handle, it broke. Upon return to Utah, I...

    Range Report Is the 260 AI a logical choice over the 6.5x47 L?

    I'm looking for some intelligent, no BS, answers. Some of you may already know I run a 6.5x47 in a 26" Broughton 1:8 barrel and a Pierce action. With every ounce of my 37+ years of reloading experience I've found I can run Berger 140 VLD's to almost 3000 fps with zero pressure signs, only...
