[QUOTE="backwoods83, post: 892827, member: 29890"] Outlaw I'll satisfy your curiousity on two things, number 1 a 6.5x284 can last well beyond 2k rounds as a hunting or plinking rifle that doesn't get overheated. It got its bad reputation from benchrest shooters putting 10-20rnds downrange in about 7 minutes (that's hard on anything) no to mention when using charge of around 56grn or so its one of very few cartridges that maintain its burn (flame vortex) inside the case, can be hard on throats but that's why people set them back a time or 2 and continue as they were. Number 2, yes I have found in several cases with 7828 or 7828ssc, 6.5x284, 7mm rem mag, 270wby, 300wm, 300wby mag, 270win, that CCI250s give a better ES and SD than CCI200s or Fed210Ms, WLR primers are close to what the 250s will but not quite as good. Also if you are burning 90grns of 7828 or less the 250s work best, 215Ms are a little radical in the ignition, but with over 90, (I use 94 in a 338lm) the 215Ms give better consistency. My go to loads for the 6.5x284 are various 139-142 pills with H1000 or Retumbo and 215Ms, with the Retumbo/140Berger coming in first at 3160-3170fps (30" barrel) it thinks its a 264wm! [/QUOTE]
