[QUOTE="mike33, post: 1754814, member: 14195"] I have 3 been shooting them for years. My friend that chambered mine has been using these for deer and elk since late 70's. I was with him in Colorado and sighting in our guns he split a neck. He told me that always happens after first reloading. I told him I have got 4-5 reloading's and only problem I had was primer pockets getting loose. My procedure was and this was when we was using Winchester 284 brass: first run thru a 6.5 x 284 die then thru a 25 x 284 die then thru final step of the 6mm 284 die. My extra step of going thru the 25 is why I think I have never split a neck. He agreed. Foe white tail here in Md. and Pa. I use the 85 sierra bthp with 53 grains of imr 4350 you can get it close 3500 fps but of course start off little lighter maybe like 51 to start. This guy has taken 23 bull elk since 1978 using the old 100 nosler solid base with 51 grains of I-4350. Nosler discontinued that bullet but he had a gun shop and bought up a few thousand. [/QUOTE]
