130gr Berger VLD in 6.5x45L - powder choice

oldgoat — Tue, 10 Feb 2026 08:49:06 +0000

Having a 6.5x47L put together at the moment, being set up for the 130gr Berger VLD.

When it comes to load development I'm looking at 2208 or 2009. Anyone shooting these with either powders?

Hi all,

may be a dumb question but what’s the best/preferred seating for projectiles with regards to the boat tail vs neck/shoulder junction. Best to have it the boat tail out past it in the neck or from experience no real life difference?

cheers

Load all arvo the day before, get out of bed at 4.30, drive to your range and set up full compliment of flags in the dark along with all the rest of the paraphernalia required for a load development session and then cop this for about 3 hours.....

This is what you get for leaving important stuff until the last minute!!! ? ?
