    Savage 111 LRH 6.5-284 Loading Questions

    No i havent messed with the superformance powder yet. I only tried IMR 4350, IMR 4831 and Retumbo. IMR 4831 shot really good but was slower then I wanted.

    I will tell you if you intend to hunt with the Amax they do the job but they are a bloodshot SOB. You should be able to make it with the 123 gr. I could make it to 3000 with the 140 if I wanted but my goal was to stay between 2900 and 3000. So you should be able to make it to 3100.

    Shooting during hot weather.

    What is everyone's thoughts on shooting during the hot summer months? What all does the extreme heat really effect besides keeping the barrel warm. I am wondering how much the heat can play in the accuracy of firearms I was out shooting the other day and my guns I took using their hand loads...
