Re: 6.5x47L IMR 4895?
It will work but its fast for this case. The fastest i have used is rl-15. I am about 4 grains from max cap with it. But it works well. You could try it but i would run the cci-400 primers in it or another mild small rifle.

Re: 6.5x47L IMR 4895?
Does seem a tad fast. I love Re 15 with 123 grain scenars. In the IMR family I tried IMR 4007ssc. Good accuracy, but Re 15 gave much better velocity (and also great accuracy). I've also used Ramshot Big Game and Hunter with 123-130 grain bullets. Never used Hodgdon 4350, but see good write-ups about in at 6mmBR.com in their rifle of the week section (for those rifles chambered in 6.5X47).

What weight bullet?
140's not, 85-120's probably not bad.

Josh, PM me. I have Quick Load. You can use it, but give me the barrel length and what bullet weight and velocity you want to run.
20 inch with 120TSXs can run 2786fps at 57000 psi

Re: 6.5x47L IMR 4895?
it is a bit fast try Varget for the lighter projectiles and H4350 for 123gr plus and you will be gtg.
re15 is also a good powder to use as it works where varget works.

H4350 and Reloader 17 have worked well for me.

Ranger1183,
What bullets have you got RL 17 to work with and what kind of accuracy are you getting. I ask as I got great velocity, up to 3,050 with 130 g Berger VLD but the accuracy w3as not real good.
Thanks
wade

My bad! My experience is with the 6-6.5x47 Lapua. Ignore my "has worked well for me" comment regarding powders for the 6.5x47 Lapua.
Sorry
