[QUOTE="firefighter1990, post: 1123546, member: 23630"] I think the 6.5-284 has got to be one of the most dicussed rounds on lonngrange and benchrest forums alike. I think thats because those of us that intend to hunt with it lean towards hot-rodding it. Its a VERY consistant round that will always produce results universally from rifle to rifle. Its very true the the best choices are h4350; h4831 long and short cut and the sweet spots for each propellant is very definitive!! I did get great velocities with retumbo and f215's but only got 1/2-3/4 moa. So instead of trying to re-invent the wheel; i went to 51.7gr of h4831 long cut 140gr vld hybrids and got 1/4 moa and out of my 31" shilen, 2980fps. I played with jump/jam and diff primers and f210m with a .001 jam was my sweet spot. I chose h4831 over h4350 & h4831sc because it has the best fill ratio which (theoretically) makes for the best consistancy from shot to shot. The secret of every 6.5-284 lies in primer choice and bullet jump. But every one ive come across will shoot at least 1/2 moa using the "bread and butter" loads that have been proofed time and time again. My 2 cents and hope that helps some. [/QUOTE]
