36.9 gr load looks promising, if repeatable. Thanks.

Smallest groups is not how you read OCW'S...You select consistent POI's not smallest group. Then do a seating depth test

I don't shoot 6.5x47, but I've shot out a few 6.5 Creedmoor barrels with the 140 ELDM

And Padom is correct. Ignore the group size until you've found your optimal charge weight

I also found 36.9 gr Varget with 140 RLDM to be a good load. Leaning more to the 130 ELD M and Berger Hybrid with 35.5 gr of Varget. Shot H4350 with 41.0 gr w/130 ELDM and that was good also.

Hi padom. Please elaborate a little more on what you mean by POI’s vs smallest group. And, what is OCW? Thanks.
