[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1544934, member: 10291"] Yes, I have been working(and posting) on a number of 6.5x284’s for several years, for the last 3 or 4 years I have pretty much settled on my hunting loads using either 140 Berger HVLD’s or the 140/142 JLK VLD’s run at 2975-3000 FPS with an ES target of <12 FPS. Depending on the particular barrel/rifle, I like Retumbo running 57-58gr, and generally found LR primers to produce better ES over the magnum primers. I say generally because I did have one rifle that was exceptionally accurate running 3030FPS/ES10 using 57gr of Retumbo with Fed 215M’s. I have had a few times when I have been able to improve accuracy and/or ES trying a CCI BR2, or as in the case stated above, a Fed215M. [/QUOTE]
