I've just taken delivery of a new rifle with barrels in these two calibres. It's a Stiller Predator with Lilja barrels, set up as a varminter of similar weight to the Rem VS.

Loading data for both of these rounds is thin on the ground. As I'm in Australia, most of the powders aren't easy to come by, other than the ADI powders. These are sold in the USA as Hodgdens powders.

So, if anyone has any loads for these cartridges (at any bullet weights) using Hodgdens powder, I'd be very interested to see them.

jb, have you checked the articles linked from this page?? Quite a few about the new 6.5x47 Lapua and wildcats based on that case.

These guys tend to run their pressures pretty optimistically, so work up carefully if you find a load that takes your fancy.

Sounds like a nice rifle - good components!
