I would work up from 56gr. My loads are 57gr/Fed215m and 58gr/Fed210M Lapua Brass. Berger 140 VLD, .075" off the lands with two rifles, .020"
With the third. 3000FPS in my 26" barrel.
I have two 6.5-284 both shoot H4831sc 54.5-56.5 grain with the VLD 140. One shoots a F210 primer the other is CCI Magnum. Has everyone on here tried the Horn 143 ELD-X in their 284's. I shoot them out of my 6.5 GAP 4s (SAUM) but I would like to shoot them with my hunting 284.
Which primer ?I am running retumbo and the eld-x
I am running the 143 ELD-X, lapua brass, and 56.3g retumbo in my 6.5x284. 26" barrel and getting about 3030 fps.
