[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1446695, member: 10291"] What bullet are you using, and what is your seating depth. You might want to check the throating in your rifle. For a Berger 140 VLD, 142 SMK, and 143 Hornady ELD-x, COAL of these bullets when seated to the lands should run 3.1”-3.2”. I have run across 6.5x284’s that use the 284 Winchester throating which is shorter then the Norma spec. This would produce velocities in the range you are experiencing. Not saying that this is the case with your rifle, but worth a check. Another question. How many round has the barrel seen. Some barrels will increase velocity as much as 50-100 FPS after 100+rounds. How are your groups. If the barrel was defective it is likely that it would effect accuracy. [/QUOTE]
