[QUOTE="PrimeTime, post: 22286, member: 54"] Crow- Although (in my opinion)a bit marginal for 1200 yard kills, the 6.5-284 is a good one. I just got my first one a month ago and the powders Darryl mentioned seem to be what everyone uses. Mine has a 30 inch barrel and with 55 grains of H4831SC can achieve over 3,100 fps. That is a fairly stiff load but shows no pressure signs at all in my rifle. You shouldn't have any problem shooting 53 to 55 grains of that powder in your gun. The 142 probably would be your best bet for hunting purposes. The A-max shoots extremely well but man does that bullet blow up. It makes an excellent woodchuck stopper. Enjoy the new rifle. [/QUOTE]
