You beat me to that one just as I was getting ready to pull the trigger. Good snag.

CB, I heard the same from another member who called me last night...I kept looking and reading trying to see what was missing in the ad because it didn’t make sense to me based on the asking price...I called the seller and asked if this was just the barreled action? Nope, full build. Ok, I’ll take it....

H4350 has always given me higher velocities than Varget from 130s to 147s....started with CCI Mag SRPs.
I wouldn't overlook R17 either.

Read an article on loads the PRS guys are using. 17 guys using 6.5x47 in competition. 14 were using Varget and 3 using H4350. I’d start with those 2. And if you can’t find them imr4451 or imr4166. But it seems to shoot about anything well.

The 140 vld shot very well too with the Varget load they were using. The 140 vld expanded and penetrated very well with an impact velocity around 2050 fps last fall.

My bud came through with the goods for my x47 Lapua rig. 1200 Rounds of new Lapua made ammo with 123g Scenar bullets. Huge concession on his part letting go of his stash. Thanks EHG! 😎

Great news on the ammo.
As has been mentioned, Varget is a great powder for this cartridge-- I've had great results with it and both 123 Scenars and 140 Bergers.

Took the rig and new Lapua loaded ammo out yesterday morning to see what I got myself into... I did good, finally, on everything from purchase price for the rifle, to the bulk ammo buy. In my life, every once in a while things fall into place....This is one of those few times....😎 200 yard target 400 yard steel

Thanks Tom....Like I said, it’s nice when something comes together smoothly. God knows I fuss around with rigs and scopes enough to baffle most looking in.
Gonna take this one to Wyoming for a deer hunt is the plan.
Stay well friend....😎

Very nice, Mark! Cool new rig. A decent supply of ready-to-shoot ammo that groups like that wouldn't hurt my feelings!
