Is it difficult to find reloading components for the 6.5 X 47?

Moderator: Aaron. It is not difficult at all. H4350, Varget, N150, or Reloader 15 for powder. Shoot any 6.5mm bullet up to 142gr.

Forster and Redding both offer excellent FL-Sizing dies, and Redding has a neck-bushing die. Both offer Comp 6.5×47 seaters, and Wilson makes an inline seater, though they were recently sold out.

Use standard small rifle or small rifle magnum primers.

Per the text in the story, I am currently using VV-N550 with the 139s.

Please, please could I have the 139gn Scenar load!!!

I am trying to get a load with 123gn and 139gn scenars using N150 and am really struggling.

Do you know what Lapua use in their factory ammo?

Kind regards,
