6.5 284 Norma Are any of my loads good enough for long range?

[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 839814, member: 10291"] I think you are in good shape. I would go with the H4831sc load. I have used this load successfully out to 1000 yards on deer sized game using 140 Bergers at 2950FPS out of my 24" barrel 6.5x284. My 26" runs at 2970FPS. I never tried R22, but have confirmed that the H4831sc is very temperature stable. Your average velocity of 2973FPS is good. The SD of 11 is on the edge of the exceptence range but I have little faith in chronograph results, particularly with the highly polished Bergers. My next step would be to get a velocity/drop confirmation at 700 yards or more. If my vertical spread was .5MOA or less I would load my ballistic calculator for the actual velocity(if necessary), and go hunting with confidence.IMHO. [/QUOTE]
