6.5x284

[coachcw]

Well it's getting close the barrell is in and it's getting the break fitted . with the long action we should get good case capacity , so in the next couple of weeks we should have the load worked up . 140vld's

Good deal. I have really been putting some thought into getting a 6.5x284. If I do another custom gun that would be my pick.

I'm shooting 140 VLD's out of a 6.5 creedmoor they are awesome.  Have fun with the new gun.

Picking her up thursday ! turrets are in and she's shooting sweeeeetttt ! I my have to plunk a yote this weekend !

Sweet caliber.  Can't justify owning one with a swede already in the safe though...

[Biggerhammer]

Your going to love it, that cartridge with a brake is a dream to shoot.

[coachcw]

Here she is! Sorry for the pics there off my cell phone . 6.5 x284 capacity is 6+1 pushing the 140 vld at 3190 muzzle based off a 700 long action , hart barrell and timminey trigger , the stock is a bell carolson and is supported by a black hawk bipod .

How long of snout you got to get that velocity? Don't see many loads over 3000 fps, let alone another 200 fps? NIce rig though. Later

27inch , rl 17 at .03 in

Very nice!

RL 17 gives some surprising velocities.  And in my experience, excellent accuracy.  Let us know how it shoots.

I had a chance to shoot her . Fricken assume !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 8-10 mph crosswind at 408 yards -2 degree angle set the turret to 400 and held full wind value . first shot was 3inches high dead center on a clean barrell ( coulda been me the trigger is pretty light ) the next four rounds where inside off a coffee cup one inch right of dead center ! I think that will work 1/2 moa in the wind with a semi rookie behind the trigger .
