I already posted the result in shorty goes to Yass thread. 4157fps. No pressure but no room in the case for more powder.

Yes, I reckon that 8208 powder with the 35gn lead free pills should get some pretty decent speeds. At least the 6.5x47 case is very tough and can handle high pressures. Watching the primer for excessive cratering with this case will tell you when you are reaching the limits.
DA Shooter, do you have any of those 30gn pills left? They would go well in this experiment.

I believe I may well do RDavies. 8)
Trev, let me know if you want to try some.

What twist is your barrel?
Do you know what the freebore length is?

Can't remember the twist. Could find out but ordered for 55gn pills so it will 12 or 14. I have some 2206h but not feeling inclined to try it. The way the barrel heats up I am guessing it won't have the longest life and the current load works. I couldn't tell you the freebore length. I do seating depth with the texta method and the 55gn pills are in the lands
