[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1428803, member: 42308"] The last couple of deer seasons I’ve taken a deer with the 130 berger AR hybrid from my 6.5 Grendel. The muzzle velocity is at 2,400 FPS from that rifle. I have taken deer out to just short of your 500 yard limit cleanly with that bullet and as close as 35 yards. Your 6.5/284 would certainly be able to push that bullet easily beyond 3,000 FPS, possibly 3,100fps with IMR7977, Retumbo MAGPRO, Norma 217 or a couple of VV powders. 3,000 FPS MV at 500 yards you should see ~2,231fps and 1,437 ft/lbs of energy with 2.1 MIL of drop from a 100 yard zero. I will be testing it myself in one of my 6.5/06 and 264 win mag rifles this summer with the goal of a flat shooting, light recoiling load for hunting deer inside of 500 yards. I’ll also be testing a couple of the Hammer bullets as well [/QUOTE]
