    Varget in 6.5x47 Lapua?

    I originally started with Varget but moved to N150 for 130 VLDs as I could get increased velocity with less signs of pressure.

    Rifle Scopes how much power

    All depends on what you're using the scope for (tactical, target, hunting, etc). I personally prefer higher power scopes on all my rifles, with the exception of pure hunting rifles that I'm saving weight on. Other than those, everything has at least 20x on the high side.

    Case trimmer suggestions

    Just reviewed your original post...since you already have a Wilson, why not give it a try? Order a 308 holder and you can try it on 308 and 260 as well. Spend $10 on one holder, and if you don't like it, sell the whole setup.

    My factory 700 LTR with a 1-9" will shoot the 75 AMAXs amazingly well (.3s at 100). I was pleasantly suprised to say the least.

    what .243 powder?

    Due to current market conditions, what the ideal powder is versus what is available may not align. IMR 4064 will work for the weight you asked about, but H4350 would be my preferred powder, if available. The Hodgdon's website is a great reference on rifle powders -...
