[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2572686, member: 27307"] Norma makes several different loads for the 6.5x285 Norma cartridge. In fact I just bought a few boxes of this on sale loaded with the 156 gr. Oryx to test. Nosler makes several loads also for the 6.5x284 cartridge. Federal Premium lists 7 different loads for their Custom line of ammunition. Pricey like most custom ammunition. But above and beyond these manufacturers, the 6.5x284 Norma is certainly easy to load for whether you're a hunter or target shooter. There is a substantial number of bullets and styles to choose from, brass is more available now from name brand manufacturers and you should buy primers in reasonable amounts if you need them.:eek: Those of us who have been shooting this cartridge for quite a while all agree with this analysis. Far too many internet experts make the claim of this being a barrel burner without clarification, when in fact nearly every cartridge, when applied to rapid fire conditions, can be noted as being a barrel burner. The 6.5x284 Norma is a fun cartridge to have whether it's being used for hunting or targets. The design, except for the case length is nearly ideal. I use the Defiance XM action for this and a couple of other intermediate length cases. The 3.200" magazine is great for the longer bullets. :) [/QUOTE]
