[QUOTE="scottishkat, post: 1899159, member: 82202"] I read an article by a well known gun writer which states "If 2 cases of the same caliber have the same amount of powder room, when loaded with the same bullets and powders they'll produce essentially the same velocity at the same pressure"... He states there is no evidence that case shape can result in higher velocities. Most of his articles seem well researched. What trnelson says is true there are vast differences in 6.5-06 chambers mine has .120 freebore with a 130gr Berger VLD seated with .264 grip. I don't think it is much of an experiment to use 6.5x284 data in a 6.5-06 as long as the case capacity of each is known. Never tried Retumbo in mine but I concur with the statements about RL22 and its accuracy in the 6.5-06 as well. H1000, H4831SC and 7828 are also great choices as well. I did not have very good luck with Retumbo in my 6.5x284. I have some RL23 to try but that project is pending. Good luck and shoot straight y'all [/QUOTE]
