A friend of mine recently aquired a Model 12 F-Class rifle in 6.5-284 Norma and he asked me to help him get set up to reload for it. I've looked and read a lot (well, what I could find anyway) about this round. Mainly, I'm curious about the 2 versions of the round. I looked up both on the Hodgdon load data website and noticed more data is available for the non-Norma version. Would it be acceptable to use the load data from the non-Norma version to load for the Norma rifle? If not, that's fine, I just have no experience with this round at all and I'm trying to find out as much info as possible to help him out.

Any shooters with experience reloading this round, I would welcome any information please.

Thanks for the information in advance!!!
