My wife is going to be shooting 120's out of her 6.5x47

We have 4 or 5 pounds of RL-17 left that we are going to burn up while she is learning to shoot.

I am looking for a starting load to get her going, on the slower side of things. I was thinking of starting with 38 grains.

Hornady ELD-M 120 grain 2.645 OAL

She has been shooting 140 Berger VLD hunting with 36 grains and does't want to increase recoil more than that.
 
What velocity are you getting with this load? I have only shot 130 Bergers out of my X47 with H4350. In the process of building a light weight X47 and am thinking of trying the 127 LRX. Gotta love the 6.5X47!
