[QUOTE="LongBomber, post: 1325283, member: 14435"] I have a 26 and it is fast, but finiky to load for. RL33 seems to be the powder for 130gr and under bullets, and us869 is the velocity king. It will push a 140 over 3300fps from a 26" barrel and have decent brass life doing it. I run the 127 LRX at 3545fps, I could get a touch more speed but then brass life would suffer. I think the 6.5-284 is about the max case size in a 6.5, once you pass that barrel life is really going to suffer and velocity gains are very small. If I was going to do another hunting rifle the biggest I would go is the wsm case. [/QUOTE]
