I believe this cat knows more about the 6.5-284 than anyone! Super nice guy, very personable. I've been to his shop a handful of times.

Bottom metal? H1000 works great in the 6.5-284 Norma.

Yes it does… thanks for the tip.

I love it when a plan comes together. Nice trigger work!!!! I guess I don't need to ask how you like the new rifle!!

Have an Atlas bipod and a carbon fiber tripod with ball head and arca attachments.

Looking to try H1000
I did have 5 pounds of RL-23 in my cart yesterday and then cancelled it.

Please list any favorite loads. I understand to start lower and work up. Just looking for ideas.

Loved my 6.5x284

I love it! Three antelope didn't like it one bit. 537 yards, 580 yards and 741 yards all in their respective freezers. If there is paper between holes at 100 yards, I screwed up.

Try finding some reloader 23 if possible, but definitely off to a great start!

338 dude,
Do you have a good load you have worked up for the 6.5 x 284 using RL 23? If so I would be interested if you wouldn't mind sharing it.
thanks,

Just getting started on a 6.5x284 with…
Manners LRH LA stock
Nightforce NX8 2.5-20x50
Nightforce Ultralight rings
Benchmark Sendero 1:8
BAT Vampire Action
MisceLandon's bullets (156 EOLs coming)

WHAT AM I MISSING?

Need a trigger.

 

[Bang4theBuck]

My 6.5x284s both love RL26....2900+ with 156 EOL.

 

[Csbc4fun]

Need a trigger.

Ended up with Trigger Tech Diamond trigger set at 2.0 pounds

Mine likes N565 the best. I tried H1000, Rl26, and N565. RL gave me the best speed by a little but 565 wasn't far behind and was more consistent at distance.
