Looking for load data for thr 6.5X47L with 100 grain A-Max

[Jim the Plumber]

I'm looking for load data for the 100 grain Amax in my 6.5X47 Lapua.
I've been shooting the 130 Berger VLD hunting with great success, (42.2 H-4350, CCI 450) but would like to try the 100 grain Amax on coyotes this winter.
Thanks
Jim

Its not the 100gr Amax, but the 107gr SMK over 38-39gr of RL15 absolutely ripped it from my 21" 6.5x47, near 3000fps. Varget in the same charge produced slightly less velocity. In theory these bullets perform well out to 600yds, but I never had great success that far out... splash was getting smaller and precision wasn't hot.

If me, I'd run 100s if shooting no more than 300 yds, the 123 would do better further out. If up close no problem, even 85 and 90s would do fine.

I have ~1500 of the 100 grain Amax so I want to try them. Figure for coyotes I should be good to 400 or so.
Thanks guys.

The 123 at just 2850 matches in speed at 400, so has the edge in energy, but an amax will no doubt do the deed. Hope you find a great load.

I looked in my reloading handbook last night and found my 107gr SMK load was with 39.3gr of RL15. Very safe load, no pressure signs at all, with primers still nice and round along edges. Damn, I wish that load had worked for me, as I loved its recoil and flat path, but it just didn't do the job at 500-600yds and I dropped a lot of points in the local matches I do as result. I'm sticking to the 130's...

Best of luck with the 100gr AMaxs!
