[QUOTE="SteveBurton, post: 2974950, member: 59541"] Lots of good info in this thread. There are several other threads about the 6.5-284 if you search the forum. IMHO, Greyfox has the most experience about this cartridge so I consider what he says as 6.5-284 gospel. 😉 Mine is built on a LA with a 1:8 24" barrel. Load is Lapua brass, Fed 210M, 53.0 grains of H4831sc and a Berger 140 VLD. Shoots .25 MOA at 2950 all day long. I have tried to speed it up and found another node around 3020 but wasn't as accurate and saw no reason to hurt my barrel looking for speed. As others have said, 2950 seems to be the sweet spot with this cartridge and a lot of people have success with that. [/QUOTE]
