6.5-284 Norma/130 Grain Cutting Edge Bullets (MTH)

[C.O. Shooter]

I bought a box of these Saturday at the Great America Outdoor Show. Really nice people to deal with. Anyone have any loads for them. I was told to email them directly and they would send me some load data, but thought I'd check here as well to see if anyone has used them.

Working with Lapua Brass, Fed 210M, and H4350. If anyone has used this combo, please advise.

Bump.

Bump. I'll be loading some hopefully soon. CEB did email me data. Just checking if anyone has shot these in a 6.5-284. Thanks.

Measured my throat with the above bullet (BTO): 2.531". Seated the following as per CEB instructions, which put me at 2.485" (BTO). Jumping these .047". They claimed this would put me .020"-.025".

As there isn't much info out there regarding these bullets and the 6.5-284, I'm going to see where the pressure is. I started at 45 Grains of H4350, in .5 grain increments to 49.5 (10 total). Of the 10, all the OAL's were between 3.152" - 3.154".

Not certain what to expect, but will have the Magnetospeed attached.

This is how deep the hollow points were!

I tried a few groups on these in my rifle and they were hitting the target sideways. Closed the box and never opened them again. Don't have time for that stuff

If you have too much airspace in the case with h4350 you could try RL23. It is bulkier.
I had good luck with rl23 in my last 6.5-284 barrel.

I havent tried these but will be trying some hammers soon. Barnes has H1000 listed as most accurate load start 46.5 max 51.7. If you don't have good luck. also fastest is R22 max 50.9 followed by R26 max 51.2

H4350 is what I currently have. It shoots great out of it now.

 

[twister]

How fast are you getting them?

 

[C.O. Shooter]

Sorry, H4350 shoots well with the 140 Berger. Haven't got to shoot the CEB yet. I will post my results.

1-8

 

[C.O. Shooter]

That's what mine is, we'll see!

Not certain what happened with #9, Lol. I may try a few more grains of powder. No issues thus far!
