[QUOTE="Paul Watterson, post: 1504775, member: 107663"] I currently shoot a 6.5x284. Barnard P action, McMillan Stock, Valdada 8x36 scope, and a Bartlein 30 inch barrel. You probably wont reach 3000 fps with a 140 grain bullet. Just switched to a 130 grain TSMK bullet and results look very good - 0.08 inch groups at 100 yds. Have not measured with a chronograph yet but velocity is probably between 2900 and 2950 fps. Shooting IMR 4831 but not the most efficient powder. H4350 is more efficient but hard to find. The 260 Remington is also very good. [/QUOTE]
