129 nosler LRAB

[Yotebuster]

Anybody shooting this bullet in a
6.5-284. I have tried 140 and 135 Bergers with Retumbo, H1000,rl22 and H4350 cannot get a load that I like so thinking this gun just does not like Bergers.

I am using it in my 6.5 creedmoor with 38.3 grains on n140 shoots real good if that helps you any.

I have shot about every bullet out of a 6.5x284 norma. You can get some good speed but shooting a 129 out of a 6.5x284 just didn't make sense to me. If you are having trouble try the 140 Berger elite hunters. Pretty easy to tune with retumbo

Have been trying them. maybe i I need more bullet jump.

 

[dogz]

are you running them above or below 2850 fps?

What's you powder so far?

 

[Yotebuster]

I have tried Retumbo, H1000, rel22. And H4350. Trying to be 2850-2900 ish range. 26" Carbon six barrel
.010 jump maybe I need more

 

[dogz]

slow it down 100 and see how it perks then

 

[Dmagna]

Try going to 2900-2950, that's the sweet spot

Slow it down? Might as well have a creedmoor

and or of course..........one might just learn something by trying it never hurts

I've worked with a ton load of 6.5/06 barrels and with the exception of one all them had the accuracy wheels fall off when one went over 2850

Was just a thunk, take it for what it's worth. I always find it interesting what we can learn when we're just willing to give it a go

I will give it a try I think I've pushed it as much is 3000 just seems like I can find something I'm real happy with

H4831sc is also a very good powder for the 6.5x284

I've used the 129LRAB in my 6.5-06. They shot best at .050 jump. They shoot great and have worked perfectly on a few cow elk, deer, antelope and Barbary sheep. Use H4831 or R22-23. You should be able to push them as easy 2900-50 out of 26 in barrel
