Big Al Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Hi my deer rifle is a 6.5x47 t3 that was re barreled with an 18in L/W barrel and it shoots bullets in the 120ish region without fault ''never tried heavier'' Can I ask what your load data and velocities are with the 18" barrel please?

Spielvogel pointers Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 I use N140 behind a hornady 123g sat 8th off, started at 35g and worked up in half grain increments till I got to the above group but my load is above book max and sorry I've never bothered to chronograph it P's. .. 35g was almost identical to to the load I settled with but as I don't shoot round after round from it I decided to run the hotter load for flatter trajectory Regards SP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
