[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 1124031, member: 9551"] This is a long range forum. Not a benchrest forum. Using World War II technology single base powders for long range is a waste of time. Yes they still work but they do not produce velocity that makes the 6.5-284 useful for long range hunting. If you want to barrel life, use coated bullets and nitrocarburize your barrels. I [I][B]always[/B][/I] do. If you want .260 Remington velocities, buy a rifle chambered for that cartridge. It will lack the energy for long range hunting. I have tried MagPro, Ramshot Magnum, 4000-MR, IMR-7828SSC, R-17, R-26, R-19, R-22, Winchester XMR, VihtaVuori N-560 produces the most outstanding velocities with 130 gr Scirocco, Accubond and Berger bullets. Example loads: [COLOR=#000000]130 AB N-560[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]56.90[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]3291[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]7[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]210M[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]130 AB N-560[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]54.6 gr[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]3196[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]11[/COLOR] [B][COLOR=#000000]CCI 200[/COLOR][/B] [COLOR=#000000]130 Berger N-560[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]56.40[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]3182[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]20[/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000]210M[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
