6.5-284 & IMR 4831

[Wayne Huff]

Whenever we get our 6.5X284 build done will be shooting 142SMKs in 30" -1:8twist for "F" class. I have plenty of H4831SC. Has anyone had luck with using H4350 or H1000????

I have had excellent results withH1000 and 147eld top end on load data.

Can go higher but this is easier on brass.

I've done more digging and found some Ramshot LRT at a local gun shop. It has similar burn rate as Retumbo, RL26 & N570. Since I can't find anything else, I figured this wouldn't be a bad deal.

Check it out.

Well fellas, I went ahead and worked up a few loads with the Ramshot LRT.
26" bbl, 1:8 twist, Lapua brass, CCI large rifle primers, 140g Berger VLD, 3.065 COAL.

I'm fairly happy with the results.

Matches what I've found with LRT.....fuller cased = best sd. It also burns cleaner near the max. Even at 90 degrees it's stayed consistent. I think it's a good choice especially since it'll be softer on the throat.

[/QUO Is the powder charge all the way flush too the top of neck?

I'm looking at his excel data....@63 grains the es sucks. As it gets fuller it gets way better.

Im using it in a 26 snosler. I'm over recomended max and still no pressure with a 156 grain bullet. I could went higher but it was 90+ degrees out all summer and I wanted to save my barrel life so I went with first Good es load since every load was shooting good.

That is fast. I may need to look at N570 or LRT if I can find it.

RL23 is a little over 100 FPS slower. Only about another 100 yards down range and an animal probably wouldn't know the difference but who reloads to shoot marginal speeds .

Are you compressed at all?

 

[Mayhem 487]

Yes, slightly. The powder is up in the neck
