[QUOTE="600BP, post: 1161818, member: 22097"] My first LR rig was a 6.5x284 Norma. With what limited experience I had at the time, the cartridge was still very easy to load for. It's shot bugholes with the recommended published powder loads around 2900fps. When I ran into problems was when I decided I needed that extra 100fps and either loaded it hot or used a hot powder not necessarily made for the cartridge. The groups got wild and I prematurely burnt the barrel out. Long, expensive story short, it shot knot holes at a lesser velocity and argue as we all may.....speed is no replacement for accuracy. Just my "still learning" piece of advice. Regards Erik [/QUOTE]
