[QUOTE="65WSM, post: 709492, member: 9551"] I am interested in long range hunting. My top bolt action rig is a Model 70 with a Bartlein 26inch #3 fluted barrel in 6.5X284. With the 130 Accubond or 120 Ballistic Tip bullet I have found the highest velocity and most consistent SD with Vhitavuori N-560 powder. I use Fed 210M primers in Lapua brass. The absolute Maximum is 58.5 gr but I like 56.4 gr the best for 3260 fps instrumental at 12 feet. 120 gr Ballistic tips are routinely at 3400 fps with 58.17 gr of N-560, I have trouble reaching these velocities with the larger case of the 270 WSM necked down to 6.5. There does not appear to be such a magic powder for the larger case but N-560 is [I][B]magic [/B][/I]in the 6.5X284. I have tried R-22, R-25, 4000MR, Superperformance, IMR 7828SC, Retumbo and Ramshot Magnum. Let me know if you have found higher velocities. [/QUOTE]
