123 gr. lo & hi powders and charges for my new 6.5x47 Lapua barrel

[Roy Allain]

I need some suggestions for powder charges for this bullet wgt. 123 gr. SMK. My chamber is has a .125 throat which limits me to 123 - 130 gr. bullets.

I already have info. on the 130 grs. but need the 123 grs.

Thanks

Roy

I am using 37.2 gr. of Varget out of a 26'' Brux. 2950 fps.

Thanks for the reply Shooter.

Is that a max. load? What is the min. & max. range for Varget. Do you have anything for RL-15?

Again, thanks

Try this link - there's some RL15 info with the 120-123 gr bullets in there for the 6.5 x 47 Lapua.

I found around 37 - 38 gr. was about "max" for me with RL15 (depending on the lot of powder).
