[QUOTE="cowboybart, post: 2591607, member: 123214"] Due to a shoulder injury, magnums are out for at least a year. I might try to harvest some animals with a 30-30 AI Contender, but my other choice is a 6.5x47 Lapua. The Lapua is built on a Sako 75 action and I have never shot it. I will be shooting it left handed this year, and off of a bipod. While digging up components, I have selected the Barnes X (original X) 120gr XFB and IMR 4064 powder. All of my manuals talk about loading the TSX .050" or better off of the lands. I would assume this would be true for the original X as well. Anybody remember anything special about the original X bullets that I might need to know?? I don't want different bullet/powder recommendations, because this is what I have on hand, so this is what will get used. I'm sure with this combo I will find a load that is minute of antelope at 3-350 yds. I would like input on distances from the lands, for this bullet. [/QUOTE]
