Hello all,

I was just wondering if anyone on here is using H-1000 to push their Berger VLD's out of their 6.5-284 Norma. What would be a safe starting point to work up a load for this combo....shooting through a savage LHR?
 
Nope, I am using RL17 in mine. I looked through my data and I see:

24" barrel
Berger 140 VLD
H1000
start - 51.5 gr = 2562 fps
max - 54.5 gr = 2731
COAL = 3.228"
 
Yes I am and that's what my gun likes the best. I tried several other powders before h-1000 and this was by far best results for me.

26" kreiger
140 berger vld
55.0g h-1000
2925 fps
10 thousandths off lands
