This is the load I decided on for hunting. It is a 130gr Berger VLD sitting on top of 38.7 of H4350 with a velocity of 2694. Using Lapua brass and CCI BR-4 primers. This was 3 shots at 100yds. From center to center it measured .115"

Impressive!
It's hard to detect good luck, It looks so much like something you've worked hard for and earned.

Very nice, I am sure you will get her tweaked even more. I would like to have one but beleive my next build will be 6mm br I already have a action but need to order a barrel. 6.5 x 47 does hold a place in my heart just not in my safe! Yet. Keep the post coming.
