[QUOTE="highfinblue, post: 1236802, member: 67530"] I got a lh savage predator in 6.5-284 right before deer season last year and got 50 grains of IMR-4831 behind a 140 grain Sierra btsp shooting good enough to hunt with. I'd really like to shoot 140 grain VLD's and lots of folks swear by H-4831SC, and if I can get adequate velocity shooting accurately I'm good with that. Lack of time last year limited what I tried and if I can save a little powder and barrel life with a good idea here I'm all in. I've got plenty of H-4831, Retumbo and IMR-4831. I'm going to use the 24 load method with the VLD's on this forum, I'm just not sure which powder. I've got Lapua brass, CCI-BR primers. The barrel is 24", I do have some Fed 215M's if that's better with Retumbo. I looked through the threads for half an hour before starting another so I apologize if this is old ground. [/QUOTE]
