Title: 6.5x284 Recipes
Post by: Timberstalker on January 04, 2014, 07:35:54 PM: Curious if anyone has any good loads they would be willing to share? I have done a bit of research and came up with H4350 as a good option with the Berger 140 VLD hunting. Just curious on the powder charge and other specifics.
Thanks for any information.

I shot a .684 3 shot group at 300 yds the other day with it. Sweet round and it just smoldered a coyote yesterday morning. Good luck with your load development. I've heard h1000 is good and mine shot h4831 pretty good also.
