6.5x47L alternate powders?

[Sgt_Jamez]

All my reading indicates that RL15, Varget, and H4350 are the powders to use. They are however harder to find than unicorn farts. That being said, QL shows that H414 and H380 might be viable. Any reason not to use them? Also, what are other good powders for the 120-130gr range?

Potentially Ramshot Tac though I would work up and keep an eye on pressure early, Ramshot Hunter and Ramshot Big Game would work well...Bonus is that they all meter really well.

+1 on the H380. In theory, should be excellent powder for the x47L.

Vita 150 and 550 are great to, the 550 will give high Vo:s /Chris

I would imagine RL17 would be fine too, lots of people using them in the 260 and 6.5 creed's

Have used 4831SC with good results in 6x47 Lapua. Have to meter/drop it carefully, I weigh each one, sometimes get a bridge in the drop tube, but the hole is kind of small there.

I was also wondering about the h414

I am planning to try IMR-4064 as an alternative to Varget in other chamberings. W760 and H414 are just the same powder under a different label. R/S Hunter is a spherical alternative for H-4350

Have been working up a 123 Amax practice load with RS Hunter and its worked pretty well so far.
If you run Hunter through QL I think you'll like what you see.

 

[Sgt_Jamez]

TAC? That would be awesome if it works. I have plenty of that! I'll run Hunter too.

 

[GreatGonzo]

Power Pro 2000-mr will work well. Speeds will be great too.

 

[Dogtown]

Yes, check out N540 and N550 for those bullet weights.

VV N140 and 550, RL17, & W760=H414!

 

[Sixfivesavage]

Rl 17 has worked well for me for a while. More velocity than 15.

I use IMR 8208XBR for 123 Lapuas and it will work with 130 Bergers too.
