6.5-284 Loads

[daisy2007]

Anyone got any good 6.5-284 loads. I was thinking of shooting 123gr A-Max and using 4831SC

I'm up for anything that works good. Pics or groups and loads would be great.
Thanks.

I am using H4350 with Hornady 140 SST. Hodgdon has a much lower load than the above link and the velocities are much lower than I wanted so have been slowly working above Hodgdon load levels. I want to get 2850fps out of a 24" barrel and have not reached that level.

51.5 Gr. of 4831CS, 142 SMK @ 2950 FPS
Best 10 shot group at 1,000 yards was 7 1/2''
30'' Kreiger barrel, 1:8 twist

51.5gr H4831sc, 140gr SST, Lapua brass, and Fed210M out of a 24" Predator Hunter runs at 2842fps cold bore and up from there a bit with 5-shot groups. We started at 48gr and worked up from there. Consistant 1" 5-shot groups at 200yds from a bench and bags.
