[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 2341037, member: 33159"] H4831 is really the gold standard powder for the 6.5-284. All the benchrest shooters have used it for years with 130-140 bullets. RL23 really shines in this cartridge, too. Retumbo and RL26 are other good choices, but I’ve found H4831 & RL23 are the most consistent. 2950-3000 fps is the general sweet spot for 140 gr bullets, so you are definitely leaving some velocity on the table with the 130.
