No i deer Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Anybody using these bullets in there 47. I feel like a change and step down a little as I've always used 140's. RS62 or N150 is what powder I have. Ive got a handful of RS60 I could try too.. what is the better powder for the 130 grainers..?? as my barrels done over 2000 shots using RS60 doesn't worry me.. I've another barrel ready... Cheers NID Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 The 130 AR Bergers work well on mine - haven’t tried eldm (Varget works fine - circa 37.5 g in my rifle produces just shy of 2900 and adequate accuracy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhhudson Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I tried the 130gr eldm and mine didn't like them, So I switched over to 130gr Tmk and they are spot on and a lot more consistency to hornady in my opinion, I am loading them using vhit n140 and they are producing .3moa consistently. A bit better if I'm on a good day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No i deer Posted June 23, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Thank you Rock.. How much N140..? What's the velocity on what length barrel..? I'd forgotten about the TMK's..!! I've been contemplating the 130gr gamechangers but not too much feed back on them.. There designed to be a bit tougher better penetration so I've read, thicker jackets and controlled expansion.. That's fine as long as they don't ricochet after exiting 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I am running 130gr ELD-M’s through my AI AT with 24” Krieger barrel. 37.5gr N150 BR400 primer 2820fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryh Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Be interested in the N140 load under 130g's. Had some 'funnies' with N140 under the 130g Bergers 😯 T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhhudson Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 I am running 36.1gr n140 with the sierra 130gr Tmk and the velocity is 2815 fps from a 22"barrel, not a hot load by any means but I went with consistency. I tried n150 with them and to get it grouping well I was about 2 grains above max load and it was trashing the primer pockets, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scooby-93 Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 A friend is using n160 under 130eld I’m sure he is getting around 2900fps but with a long barrel. its not a hot load either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had some 'funnies' with N140 under the 130g Bergers 😯 T Hi, I was out for a couple of hours yesterday working up a load for my 6.5x47, 26" tube. I had a tub of N140 left after selling my 6mm BR and I bought a few 130 grn TMk's to try and see if I could get them to work, I will stick with a powder charge now and have a play about with the seating depth. I was on a good group and I blew up on the 5th shot and pulled it LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotch_egg Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I think N150 will perform better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foxinmad Posted July 12, 2020 Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I would be very interested in your input on the N150 instead of the N140 I'm using if you have time to share? ATB Martin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No i deer Posted July 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2020 I've only ever tried one group in my 47 with N150 with 139gr scenars and it was a tight cloverleaf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm considering RS60 as my new barrel will be sub 24 inches and I could gain 100fps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
