1 WEEK LEFT: This Target Haunts Me Contest
Tell us about the one that got away, the flier that ruined your group, the zero that drifted, the shot you still see when you close your eyes. Winner will receive a free scope!
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.
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).
I'll be running 123 scenars, and it looks like I should stick with the Varget that I have on hand, and keep the 4895 for my .308. I appreciate all of the data.
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.

H4350 and Reloader 17 have worked well for me.

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.
