I may change out the stock and scope get it down to 9 pounds or less kinda like this 300 win Mag Eric built for me. This is the weight before scope on the 300 win 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FB67 Report post Posted December 3, 2020 Sorry for the cockeyed PIC here is the speeds I am getting from the 6.5x47 the s-d is good so real happy with my loads. When I pushed it faster my groups opened up a bit so going to leave it right here. We had it out to 1080 a few times now and I am very happy with this rifle 😀 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted December 3, 2020 What bullets are you running? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FB67 Report post Posted December 4, 2020 Berger 140gr. long range target. Pushing it with 37.5 gr of Vhitvori N550 with CCI BR primers . 030 off jam. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FB67 Report post Posted January 5, 2021 I did some load testing this weekend not that I needed to just wanted to try out a hotter load. I had pushed a few powders through the rifle and am very happy with VV N550. I wanted to push it past 37.8 gr. because that was as hot of a load with N550 I had ran and the groups opened up a bit at 37.8gr. I figured I would try 38.0gr. just to see if it might tighten up and pick up some speed well it didn’t tighten up. I am sticking with 37.5gr. These are three shot groups at 100 yards and 37.5 gr. makes it crazy accurate. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lancetkenyon Report post Posted January 5, 2021 Yeah, accuracy above all. Great shooting. Have you thought about the 130 AR Hyb (or OTM, same bullet, two names)? That is what Taylor shoots in her 6.5SLR. Took it out this weekend, and absolutely punished the steel with them out to 1060. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
