I've been kicking the idea around. I would like to use a short action as a repeater chambered in 6.5-284 and use Berger 140 vld's. I've done quite a bit of searching but most refers to the "Norma" version.
I have a 6.5-284 norma that shoots very good with 140's at 3000 fps. I also have a 260 and am getting 2800 fps with 140's. I also just sold a 260 improved 30* that was very good with speeds between 2875 and 2900 with 129's.
Wondering if anyone has any experience with just a straight 6.5-284 and performance?
I have done a little experimenting with some loads and COAL of < 3.00" as far as case capacity goes with different powders. Here are the numbers.
53. grs. IMR 4831
57. grs. H1000
55. grs. Retumbo
Thoughts and info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
