I have a BAT tactical action on the way. I have Lapua brass and 105gr bullets. What powder are you guys using and how well does it shoot? Seems the Mcmillan will be the last part in.

- Start date
H 4350 is the go to powder Start at 37 grs and go from there...
I'm shooting the 105 hybrid with H4350 41 grains getting 3150. Extremely accurate. Like the cartridge so much just did a 22x47 and will do a 6.5x47 when my 260 is shot out
IMR4350, H4350, H4831, IMR4831, is what a friend tried and ended up selecting IMR4350.
Great I have a stockpile of H4350 from my 260.
I haven't tried varget but several friends are getting great results in the 6.5x47. I think it would work well in the 6.
N550 as well. I've seen Varget with bullets 100gr and smaller, it works.

What twist barrel are you using?
Shilen #7 1/8 which will be perfect for bullets over 100 grains. I have some Bergers and Hornady. My stock is a Mcmillan A5 and Im planning on using the new Razor once it comes out.
Sounds like a neat build. You should be able to shoot the 115's as well. I did a Krieger 1-8 twist in a McM A5. Its been a lot of fun to shoot and stupid accurate.
