[QUOTE="jacobdewey, post: 1849207, member: 87516"] Just did some load/ladder testing with my 6.5x284 Norma. Barrel is a 22" Carbon 6, 8 twist sendero New Hornady brass sized and trimmed Federal 210 primers 156 Berger elite .30 off lands (3.184~3.17" coal) 54.5 gr. H-1000 @ 2840 fps. Loads start to compress, hit pressure, and become erratic @ 55.4 grains and up with my coal. Shot to 56 grains @ 2880, but it wasn't safe. My guess is my barrel will speed up another 30-40ish fps as I only have 40 rounds down it. Hopefully I'll settle around that 2850-2880 mark with the lighter loads. Speed node was from 54.2 grains to 54.8 grains. 54.2 2831fps 54.4 2840 fps 54.6 2837 fps 54.8 2841 fps Haven't put a group downrange yet, but I'll post when I do. [/QUOTE]
