[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 157149, member: 376"] Couple fellas I shoot with have guns in 6.5x47L right now... one is using I think 139gr Scenars at around 2850, maybe a touch less, using RE-15 in a 26" barrel (not sure on the length). The other one (my shooting partner) is using a 30" (don't ask) Krieger 1-8" tw and is getting 2900fps from 139gr Scenars and 140gr Nosler CC HPBTs. I shot a couple rounds thru the gun the other day (he's having... issues, not necessarily related to the caliber, but perhaps his loading methods) and the craters are fairly cratered at that level. If I had to guess, based off of what I've seen/heard, I'd guess 2800-2850 might be a more comfortable/realistic level, even w/ the long barrel. Either that or a slower powder. HTH, Monte [/QUOTE]
