6.5x47 and 90/95 grain projectiles

[Elwood]

Powder recommendations for the above combination?

[Ronin]

Varget - works very well

with 95 g LTS

[Gandy]

N140 is very similar to varget if your struggle to get it.

What powders do you have ?

[snakeman]

RL15 ...if you want spend silly money...(extortinate price, these days)

Hi Ian, I used to use N135 in mine with 100 grain Nosler and 95Vmax

Ive recently tried RS52 which seems to work well also b

[Catch-22]

Not tried the 90-95gn bullets, but for what it’s worth I shoot a 123gn with 39.5gn N140, giving me 2980fps from a 26” tube.

Id say the powders most like Varget and worth trying are like what everyone else has suggested;

- N140

- RS52

You could try RS50, which is very similar to N140, but you need a tiny bit more in the case to reach the same velocity. But they are very, very close to each other.

You could consider Lovex SO62 or SO65. Loved make great powder, I use one of theirs in my .300wm and it’s very consistent - a 30x group with an average SD of 7.8fps. Only thing about Lovex is I think it’s a bit low on the energy…so I’ve found you need to stuff a bit more in the case to reach true potentials.

Theres also the newer IMR 4320, which is supposed to be around the Varget, N140 and Rel 15 burn rate. But I’ve never tried it.

Or per 6mins suggested, slightly faster burning powder than Varget/Rel15/N140.
