[QUOTE="David P. Herne, post: 85233, member: 29"] JB, RF, I really appreciate your prompt feedback to my post. You are both most gracious to indulge me in this new (and, frankly, quite nerve-racking) shooting endeavor. A 6.5x284 Norma is something I've been wanting for several years now. But it's also a chambering much less forgiving than those of all the other rifles I've ever owned or even shot! Consequently, I find myself almost too anxious about it to even start shooting it! I'll disassemble the loads I've worked up and reassemble them with charges 2 grains lighter in each of the subject propellants. Incidentally, withstanding the rifle's tolerance of loads using at least 48.0 grains of VV N160 and 50.0 of VV N165, what MVs can I expect here at sea level with temps in the 65-85 degree F range and relative humidity in the 30-50% range (average Fall/Winter climatic conditions here in the greater Houston area), given a barrel length of 28.5" with a 1:8.5 twist? Regards, Dave [/QUOTE]
