6.4x47 Lapua @ 750 yards

[longrangehunterII]

I haven't posted on here lately with my own stuff so I thought I would with a pic of a target I had placed out at 750 yards last week. I brought a few different guns, TRG-42/GAP 300 NM, and GAP 260 Rem, and a Thunder Ranch GAP 6.5x47 Lapua wearing a S&B PMII 5-25 Mrad DT MRS Reticle.

DA was roughly 3,900-4,000 and 88 degrees with little wind, to no wind, shot prone off a Harris Bipod.

The 6.5x47 L load:
123 Scenar
37.7 VarGet
CCI-BR-2
Lapua brass

The target's red center is 3" dia. 10 ring is 7" dia. The 5 round group is 4" outside to outside, and was shot all slow fire and I was unable to see the rounds from the FFP.

Absolutely love the 6.5 Lapua. 4 shots at 830 yards from a couple of weeks ago. Group measured 3.5". 37gr Varget pushing 140gr Berger Hybrid.

You got to love the 6.5X47. I really enjoy shooting my RBOS built X47. What kind of speed are you guys getting with Varget? I have only used H4350 and 130 Berger's. This load shoots just under 3000 fps out of a 26" Broughton.

37gr Varget pushes the 140gr Berger Hybrid to 2778fps from my 26" Criterion barrel.

I will have to pick up a pound of Varget and give it a try.
