Title: 6.5x284
Post by: coachcw 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

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 .

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

Post by: coachcw on September 19, 2012, 06:18:46 AM: 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 .
