Favorite 6.5 bullet for 300 meters

[Jerkface11]

I've run out of 108gr Scenars and the price has gone up on them so what is your favorite bullet for a 6.5x47 at 100 and 300 meters?

I've got a box of them in the shed. Just ordered a Mcgowen .260 barrel so I'll wait till it gets here to play with them.

123's for most of my shooting...I don't have a 1K range handy

I use the 95 gr V-Max over 42 gr of IMR 4064 for 3240 FPS for little critters..

123's for paper and longer shots then 200 yards.

I'm still looking for an optimum load for the 123's

I'm shooting a Grendel. But, I really like the 123 gr Lapua Scenars or the SMK. They both shoot really accurate and are pretty similar. I get better accuracy with the 123 gr than I do with the 120 gr or 108 gr. It's pretty much the Grendel go to bullet. But, not sure how they shoot out of a 6.5 x 47.

for 6.5x47mm L, I think the 123gr SMKs and AMax absolutely rock at the range - fast so they are flat as board to 300+. The 123gr AMAx is an absolute beast of a terminal performer, so if you are hunting, use that bullet.
