6.5x47 Lapua question

[338lm]

Are you guys that have been shooting the 6.5x47 for a while come to any conclusions that the 140 grain bullets are just a little too much for this case and that 120-130 bullets are optimally performing the best in this case? Or are you getting just as good results with 140's as you are the 120-130 grain bullets? When I am talking optimum performance it is in relation to the accuracy of the 140 grain bullets in comparison to the 120-130's at all distances out to 1000.

After some test , the best for me is 123 gr Lapua scenar or best 123 gr Sierra Matchking...;-)))

I've been very impressed with Berger 130VLDs & 140LRBTs with CCI 450s & RL17. Barrels are 1:8 Bartlein & Kriegers. Velocities with the 130s are 2900+; 140s are run at 2800+fps. I've seen higher velocities mentioned, but have gotten best accuracy at lower numbers.
