Obviously a 6.5-408 Cheytac Imp would be the go to.:D
You were meat shooting and fired less than 80 rounds a year? The 6.5-284 will run a 140 out at 2900 from a 24" barrel no problem, it just seems to need the longer barrel to achieve the 3050 or so...
I can tell you now you can distory a 6.5-284 barrel faster than 1000 rounds. If its a mans only hunting rifle 800 rounds goes quick. You also need to tune the load as the throat wears. I still think...
I could only get to 2850 with 2213SC safely. I was trying to stay with ADI powders but went to N560 for about 75fps more, (140 Bergers) In hindsight I don't think a short barrelled 6.5x284 is any...
Are you 100% happy with your chrony? I had a 24" barrel 6.5x284, it was hard to get any good speed from it. Id say try N560 and be prepared for a reasonably short barrel life.
RL22 is worth a try.
It does eat barrels very fast if you are running high pressures, and harder on the barrel than most powders in general. I have also found it to cause a lot of carbon fouling.
To be fair its...
Yep thats what i was thinking to. RL17 seems to achieve good velocities and accuracy in a lot of different cartridges but it sure has its drawbacks.
I also have plenty but I don't use it anymore. Whats your round count so far on your 6.5x284 Duck Gunner? Do you find your barrel time consuming to clean?
Wow RL17 in a 6.5x284 Your keen:D
100 fps out of 1gr?
