6.5x47L vs 6.5cm question

[arm017]

How many are running compressed loads with 6.5x 47?

I asked this same question a little less than two years ago and went with the 47L. Now I have two 47Ls; both with Bartlein Heavy Palma barrels and a spare barrel for one of the guns. All 3 barrels shoot 140 Hybrids in the 2770's. All 3 barrels will shoot either 4350 or Varget, and all shoot in the .3's or better. Unless there's a lot more velocity to be gained I don't think these results can be improved upon; at least while I'm behind the gun.

I have a 20" 700 Sendero I re-barreled with 6.5 Creed and just started working up loads with the new Lapua brass so it will be fun to see what happens.

I have a 18.5" barrel on one and had awesome results using IMR4166. I'm getting 2770fps with 143 hornady ELD-X´s using hornady brass. You might wanna take look at that powder. I was using the same load of RL17 as in my 26" barrel and was getting around 2680fps. I believe the slower burning RL17 was not burning completely in the shorter barrel.
