[QUOTE="Stu76x, post: 1306232, member: 79796"] My 6.5x47 is a R700 with 28" 8twist barrel. I have found my sweet spots with velocity at 2900fps/120gr NBT with 37.1gr 2208(varget) this shoots under .25" groups and down to .1 130gr Berger and 129grABLR shot nearly identically with 2208 36.5gr at 2810 both of these were around 0.4". The 140 gr bergers I ran from 38.0gr 2209(h4350) to 41.0gr, best groups at 39.5 gr but I only have velocities from 40.1 2785fps to 41.0 2835fps. I was hoping to get an extra 100fps from each weight of bullet but the groups started opening up whenever I pushed the velocity, I am currently shooting the 120's as they have proved themselves and I am only hunting fallow deer/goats and pigs with this rifle.
