Catch-22 Posted September 18, 2019 Report Share Posted September 18, 2019 If anyone doesn’t follow the Precision Rifle Blog (PRB) you should. Some excellent posts about the above calibres, including a bunch of useful load data. 6mm Dasher 6mm Creedmoor & 6.5mm Creedmoor 6mmBR / 6mm BRA / 6mm BRX 6x47 Lapua & 6.5x47 Lapua 6mmXC Enjoy!

No i deer Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 Thanks for that info catch. It would of been nice to of seen the 139gr scenar in amongst the other 6.5cal bullets,I'm 100 percent sure there better than the ELD match bullets, maybe now nammo is part of Berger they may become more popular,in all fairness the Berger hybrids will take some beating in any calibre.. I don't use them in my 6.5x47 as I like the scenars and they are way cheaper and I use them in snapshooting details like 200 and 300yds McQueens and 600,900 and 1000yds snaps...

terryh Posted September 23, 2019 Report Share Posted September 23, 2019 WTPU's is a good read but common powders, Varget etc. quoted are not UK so bit limited, the bullet and primer data is though applicable and a good/helpful starting point. I'm waiting on a 6mm Dasher and the most common bullet and primer listed are, by coincidence, also my starting points, powder is the only issue, Varget being the powder of choice US end, thinking IMR 4166 might work and off the shelf here?

Catch-22 Posted September 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2019 Tbh, I’d be looking at RAMSHOT Hunter as a good replacement for Varget. Only thing I don’t like about it is it’s a ball powder. Fine if you have an accurate thrower but I hate using ball powder in my Autothrow/Autotrickler.

Andy Welch Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'm very happy running a 6.5x47 and using 142gr SMK and N550 powder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
