Oh yea, bottom metal! I was leaving that to the suggestion of the gun smith. If anyone has a suggestion with this Manners LRH Long Action stock that would be great.

What am I Missing 6.5x284

I have a lead on some H1000.
What type is inlet for? BDL or DBM?
I run 57gr H1000 with the 140 Berger and Lapua brass. It's a hot load so work up.
H4831SC works well for me also.
H4831SC works well for me also.
Mine has always been DBM but I shoot a few targets with it as well strictly hunting I might want a BDL
My personal favorite powders for the 6.5x284N are Retumbo(2975-3025FPS) and H4831sc(2900-2950FPS). My most used bullets. Berger 140HVLD, 140/142 JLK VLD, Berger 156EOL.

Man about 10 years ago I was watching Best Of The West and J Winters shot a Elk at 978 yds and jumped up and said the long range hunter did it again, This is our new 6.5x284 Norma, I called him up and ask him about a build, He told me about a Broughton barrel 1-8 twist 5c ,Remington action ,Timney trigger and made my own stock. Today my longest kill is with that 6.5 is 918 yds couple in the 800's a bunch in the 5-600's, This gun shoots 140 vld hunting bullet 1'' group at 400 yds. So needless to say you have started off with a Monster Winner you will not be disappointed at all.

You are off to a great start. The H4350 is a winner, and H4831, and possible H1000 you can't go wrong. Those powders are very temp stable.

You are missing shooting time.Sometimes planning gets in the way of what is really important!
Thanks for the encouragement and all the great load data. I do have 5 pounds of RETUMBO I could try. I'm getting some H1000 and I am dangerously low on H4350, just went below 25 pounds.
I would like an hinged floor plate smooth looking bottom metal, not a detachable bottom magazine. I don't really know how that fits up to the stock I have. Need help from my gunsmith on that issue.
I really appreciate the help guys!

I shoot every Thursday, plus a squirrel shoot every couple weeks, plus additional shooting days with friends that can't go on Thursdays. I know, I should be shooting every day that ends in a "Y".
If you have the build sheet for the stock it will tell you what a inletted for. Should say BDL or DBM/M5. You need to know that before ordering a bottom metal. If it's inlet for DBM/M5 a hinged floor plate will not work in most cases.
Looks like your action is setup for Wyatts Extended box so I'm assuming it's a BDL (type you said you wanted) type inlet in the stock. Assuming the stock was inlet for that specific BAT action. Going to be a sweet setup for sure!!!!
