I need to work up a load for my 6.5x47 for deer hunting. I was going to try the Nosler-accubond 130 grains. As far as powders I have RL15&17, H4350 & varget to work with.

Many people, myself included seem to have good accuracy with the 130's and ~37.0 to 37.5 of Varget. Also, ~ 40.5 to 42gr of H4350 seem to be a good load also with the 130's. These "can" be at or close to max loads in some rifles so work up to them.
