have you tried the berger bullets before deadeye and are they worth the extra money?

I really struggled with mine at first. There are so many different coal lengths and no published data. I ended up with a shorter coal than some, with the 130 Berger vld I am loading 39.5 gr of H4350. This is 2 grains less than some are shooting. Just be careful reading about these 3000 fps loads. I gave up and sent Berger an email and they got me straightened out.

I don't load for the 6.5x47 but for the 260 Rem Varget seems to work great, especially for bullets of 130gr. or less. I am loading .-010 off the lands for my best accuracy.

Go over the Benchrest Central benchrest.com/forumdisplay.php?12-600-1000-Yard-Benchrest and put a post on there asking for information. I was shooting and have a reamer for 6-6.5x47 but have not shot the straight 6.5. Check out THE ACCURATE SHOOTER www.accurateshooter.com/cartridge-guides/65x47/
