[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2591893, member: 313"] The book data above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ appears to be for a 6.5x55 and not for a 6.5x47. Just sayin'. With regard to the old Barnes bullets, I've noticed 3 things that they prefer: 1. Starting with a squeaky clean barrel seems to prevent a rapid buildup of fouling 2. Looooong bullet jumps work well even if they exceed .100" 3. The slowest of the recommended powders for any given bullet weight rarely produced the best groups. Starting with a medium burn rate powder (for that bullet) shortens the testing. Just my observations from when I was shooting Barnes original X bullets. [/QUOTE]
