I also use .289" bushing. I have had good luck with the following load in MY rifle (very mild). Work up carefully in yours.

123 Scenars
37.5 gr. Varget
BR-4 primers
 
Re: Bushing Sizes for 6.5X47L

I started with a .290, but now use a .289... With several firings on the cases, the .289 give a bit more consistent tension.

This is with either 130 Bergers or 130 JLKs, but the particular bullet should not matter.
