6.5x284
« on: June 22, 2012, 02:14:47 PM »
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.

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

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

Very nice! :tup:

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 .
