85gr Sierra for the 6.5x47Lapua? EDIT (+.25" jump to lands)???

[Deserthunter]

Does anyone have data for the lighter (85gr) 6.5 mm bullets for the 6.5x47mm Lapua? I've got great data for the heavier bullets, 120-140gr range bullets.... [Sierra Bullets 6.5 mm 85gr varmiter]

(EDIT) I did a little more digging as to the feasablity of loading the 85gr Sierra varminter bullet in the 6.5x47L, Problem - the overall length of the cartridge is 2.7" or there abouts, the length of the 85gr bullet is only .845", if you load the bullet, say one caliber deep into the case you have a OAL of 2.43" or so.... not a cartridge with a 2.7" OAL..... This leaves a "jump" of just over a .25" to the lands...... Has anyone shot this combo and what happens to accuracy, etc. when there is that much distance to the lands?

Thanks, Mike

Give it a try, Sierra bullets are tolerant of jump...........it just might surprise you.
