Feb 11, 2018 · captn t has steered you in the right direction. I would start load development around 51.5 gr of RL-26 behind a 130 or a 140 and expect to find joy around 54 - 55 gr or so with the 140s, perhaps a bit more with the 130s.

Sep 15, 2010 · Hello everyone: Any thoughts one best brands of bullets and powders for 6.5 284. I have loaded 50 rounds of lapua cases with 142mk sierra bullets and used Hodgdon h4831sc.

Nov 15, 2021 · I took the new 6.5 x 284 / 7.5 twist / 26 inch barrel to the range to do first time 3 round group developments from 48 to 49.5 grains of H4831SC with the ELD X 143 grain bullet and Fed210M.

Jan 4, 2009 · I'm still kind of new to the 6.5-284. I didn't even own one at thanksgiving, now I have 2. One is a custom 700 BDL that I had at the smiths, all work was done, but he just couldn't get the barrel I wanted.

Mar 24, 2022 · I shot 153.5 bergers out of my 6.5 x284 at 2.90 COAL before I throated it out, it was not optimal for sure, I was well below the neck shoulder junction with the pressure ring on the bullet.

Jul 30, 2011 · I have been using Fed210s for my 6.5-284 lately, but I don't want to count out other primers as well. I have some CCI BR2s also. Powders availiable are H4831SC and H4350. Got about a 4" group at 550yds today with H4831SC (49.5grs) 140gr JKL bullets and Fed210 primers, brass is Lapua. Was pretty...
