6.5 X 47 Lapua pet loads

[Chad Schmidt]

I have one load that shoots very well but durring a course of fire at about round 30 or so the bolt lift is to heavy fo rpractical work. Tried some others nothing seems to shoot as well so I thought I'd ask to see if there is some guidance to reduce the possibilities. Primary bullet is the Norma 130gn match bullet. Thanks for the help.

It always helps to give your components, charge weight, etc along with rifle info to get a better read on what may be the problem.

Mine always loved Varget and 109gr scenars.

Lapua brass, Norma 130 HPBT, 205M primer, Rel-15 38gn are the loading data details. The rifle is a blue printed Remington 700, Barrel is a Rock Creek 1-8.5" twist 25.5" long, Mc Millen stock. I'll be more attentive to the details in the future. Thanks fo rthe help so far.

The two I have worked with (one 1-8 tw. and one 1-9 tw.) prefered Varget in the 37.0 to 37.5 range. This is with Berger 130 VLD's jammed using Wolf primers. RL-15 gave good accuracy but not as consistent as Varget. It is an easy round to load for.

Hope this helps.

Re: 6.5 X 47 Lapua pet loads

My rifle likes 38.0 grains of Varget with a 123 Scenar. Really, it likes everything, but 37.0 and 38.0 both work particularly well.

Meant to add, Rock Creek 25" barrel, 1 in 8 twist.
