[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 686307, member: 10291"] Your group is very promising. The horizontal dispersion could be induced by wind effects. If you haven't already, I would test a few more groups to confirm before changing variables. I would probably bed the stock, but it may not be a factor in your group size. Have you chronographed your load?. You haven't mentioned any hunting requirements, but for 1000 yard medium game, velocities with extreme spreads give excellent results at +2950fps, <15fps, ES. Barrels are different, but both of my 6.5x284's gave best results, .25-.5 MOA at 500 yards, with Berger Hunting VLD's when seated further out of the lands, .075". Pressures tend to be lower as well when using max loads. I have found best results with H4831sc and Retumbo, the latter which produces 50-75fps higher velocities and tightest ES using Fed215 primers. I don't think you are asking too much from your rifle. the 6.5x284 is capable of very high precision. [/QUOTE]
