[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2339514, member: 51405"] I would say you definitely are missing quite a bit of potential velocity. If that were the goal you could do it in a SA 6.5, like Creed, 260, x47, etc. I am getting 2900 in my creed with a 140 using 43.2gr of powder. I don’t own a 6.5-284 but have been researching as it may be my next cartridge. Seems like with 140’s people use slower powders like Retumbo, H1000, N565, and N570. Looks like you have H1000 and N565, so those would be where I would start. Side note, I really like N565 in my 30N. My understanding is that N565 and H1000 are very similar burn rates and N570 and Retumbo are very similar. [/QUOTE]
