[QUOTE="Jon2, post: 874520, member: 5149"] Dear all I took delivery of my new 6.5x284 last week and thought I would post some pics. [URL=http://s192.photobucket.com/user/jbirchall/media/015_zps8d603941.jpg.html][IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z222/jbirchall/015_zps8d603941.jpg[/IMG][/URL] First 3 shots out of the rifle did this (.412): [URL=http://s192.photobucket.com/user/jbirchall/media/013_zps001877fb.jpg.html][IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z222/jbirchall/013_zps001877fb.jpg[/IMG][/URL] I then played around with seating depth until I did two groups like this (in the 2's): [URL=http://s192.photobucket.com/user/jbirchall/media/041_zps694e2c05.jpg.html][IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z222/jbirchall/041_zps694e2c05.jpg[/IMG][/URL] After the 2 quarter inch groups I wanted to see if the accuracy I was experiencing at 100 yards would extrapolate at range. I then put this group in at 300 yards (bull is 2" in diameter): [URL=http://s192.photobucket.com/user/jbirchall/media/040_zpsa467a080.jpg.html][IMG]http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z222/jbirchall/040_zpsa467a080.jpg[/IMG][/URL] Drop chart and load development done within a few days. The specs on the rifle is as follows: Stiller Predator action. Border (Archer) barrel (S5 profile) .292 neck. B&C Stock (Alaskan II). Tuned Remington trigger. PTG bottom metal. The load I have settled on is: 52.8 grns N165 Lapua brass 140 Amax Fed 210M 20 thou off. Just need to start testing it on some furry, hairy or feathery creatures now. Kind regards [/QUOTE]
