I'm building a 6.5x47L with a 20", 1-7.5 Twist. I plan to shoot 143 ELD-Xs.

I have H4350 on hand, but would a faster burn rate powder be more optimal? Varget, maybe?
 
I am getting 2850 FPS out of a 20" suppressed 6.5x47 using 39.2g of Varget under 130 Berger AR Hybrids, not saying you need to use that load, as always start low and work your way up.
