I have a criterion 26 inch 6.5x47 lapua 1-8 twist barrel. I have just finished my rifle and shot some 140 berger BT with 31.5 grains of RL-15. That was the starting load in the berger manual. Accuracy looks like it will be good since I have not done any load development just breaking the barrel in. Does anyone use Sierra bullets and have any load data for any of their bullets from 107 grains-142? I contacted sierra and they only gave me data for Vihtavouri powders. All i have is hodgdon and IMR. I don't want to try and find more powders. I have a Berger reloading manual but not sure if I can use their data for the same weight bullets from another manufacturers. Any suggestions? I just like to put holes in paper. I don't shoot matches or hunt so the cheaper the bullet i can use the better. Usually shoot 200 yards and no further.
