Offroad Gary Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Educated reloaders, im looking to develop a load for a 20" 6x47lapua using the 70gn nosler ballistic tip. Data on the web is limited. Ive found these loads, barrel length isnt alway quoted but im sure its will be longer than mine 6x47 lapua 70gn bullet Varget-38-40gn@3595fps N550-36-42.5gn@3686fps N135-38gn@3600fps 80gn bullet N550-38-41gn@3448fps 87/88gn bullet Rl15-38.5-39.5@3440fps N550-35-41gn@3410fps Varget-35-37gn@3181fps H4350-41gn@3300fps 90gn bullet N550-39-40gn@3314fps Powder i have which i think is suitable H4895 N135 Varget N140 H380 N150 Does anyone have any other data or advice as to which would be most suitable. I'd like to keep velocity as high as poss, without sacrificing accuracy. Does quickload cover this and advise max loads for each powder? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6mmBR Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Quick load does cover this cartridge it's under the name 6mmHot. I've used it and it was pretty good. Sorry I've only got experience of this caliber with long barrels and heavy bullets. Cheers Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bianchi Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 The 6x47 Swiss Match Cartridge is very similar to 6x47L but a tad shorter. Data for this one is available in QL and should serve as a suitable starting point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trucraft Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 Tagged in on this one as I am having my Tikka chambered in this cal as we speak. Same barrel length but will probability run slightly heavier bullets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyw Posted December 7, 2014 Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 The 6x47 Swiss Match Cartridge is very similar to 6x47L but a tad shorter. Data for this one is available in QL and should serve as a suitable starting point. plenty of load data for the 6x47 Gary-i played around with the sierra 95gn hp using n550 strted at-37.5gns and went to 40,0gns no pressure in a 28"tube.didnt chrono this load as accuracy wasnt what i wanted. best powder for me in the rifle was el 17 near to rel 17 but with 105 hybrids. 135 will work with the 70gn nosler as will varget -look up data on reloaders nest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offroad Gary Posted December 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2014 Managed to chrony the 6x47l today, 3460 fps with 70gn btip and 38gn n135. If anyone with quickload is prepared to run a few different powders for me from the list above, i'd much appreciate it. Pm with contact details if you can help please.

Offroad Gary Posted December 22, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 Cheers Mark, mine is 10 twist, i only want to shoot 70gn ballistic tips in it. I found 3 blitzkings and tried them with same load and coal and there was really poor obturation, the b tips work really well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
