I have worked up a load for my 6.5x47 lapua using 130 berger vld and rl-15 that works very well in my rifle a rem custom build with a douglas 28 inch barrel # 7rem taper match chamber cut to my loaded round. This is what I have come up with 130 match vld 38.5 grains rl 15 seated .005 off of the lands at 2950fps avg. have shot steel to 1165 yds very consistently.
