25x47 Lapua load data

I should have my new 25x47 soon. Anyone have starting load with Varget and a 134eldm? Thanks
I'd start at 32.0 grains add half grain increments working up to the mid 2600's, then load 150 of them knowing that somewhere around 100-150rnds in you will likely gain velocity and what shot good before that may not shoot as good after the change. Some folks I know have been OOHing and AAHing about the mid to low 2700's but they are using N150.

Berger 135 LRHT @ 2.805”, 39.0gr H4350 (various primers) = 2820-2850fps from 27” Brux 1:7.5tw. Still seeing linear velocity trends above that, so I’d consider it a mildly warm load. Been up to 2880, but don’t need to be there for this rifle. I am also using the Blackjack spec reamer with 0.131” FB, for reference.

Just ordered a 24” Fluted Sendero for NRL Hunter, and need to make PF with that so I will push a little harder to get to the 2820fps minimum needed. I want to run Alpha brass in this barrel, mainly to help keep it from being interchanged. Does anyone have any comparison between Alpha & Lapua brass (6.5x47L necked down)? I may try Varget for this purpose too, Im slightly compressed around 40gr, and may not have enough case capacity to meet PF with H4350.

Does seem like you'd be pushing it a bit to meet PF. I was considering a 6.5x47 tube with the idea of shooting 144s to help reach PF without running too warm in a 24-25" barrel.
 
From reading all these replies, I just want to confirm that the tools required (seating and sizing dies in particular) are both the same for 6.4x47 and the 25x47. So theoretically someone could build a gun in each and have everything they need as long as they had the appropriate bushing/expanding mandrel
 
Looking for some recommendations on starting powder weights for the following:

25x47 Lapua, 24" barrel, 1:7.5 twist
135gr Berger LRHT
H4350

I'm looking to get around 2800fps.

Looking at previous posts, what I found was around 39.0gr H4350.

I'd appreciate any input. Thanks.
