[QUOTE="travisblossom72, post: 1300329, member: 100890"] The barrel is a 26" shilen heavy varmint 1:8 with a 4 ratchet twist. I fired the lapua brass 4x's as 6.5x284 before i knecked it down. It will be interesting to compare the brass I have for this setup. I have a 100 of the lapua that will be on its 6th load soon and a 100 nosler going on its 2nd. The lapua I annealed before knecking down and the nosler i didn't need to as it was new and still nice and soft. I can shoot about 9 down the tube comfortably. Thats on a 60 degree day. It gets warm but not even close to hot. Thanks for jumping in AZ. I think i've read every thread there is on this site about the 6-284. Your info was great on RL33. I didn't see the increase in velocity from Retumbo to RL 33. But got good loads in both. RL23 and RL26 were intriguing because they are supposed to be not temp stable but predictable is how they say it on alliant's site. I also like the idea of the decoppering agent they have. I have both but started with the RL 26 because I thought the slower powder might do a little better with the 105+ bullets. I will also try some 87's probably the vmax at some point and probably start with the RL23. I shot some bergers and they shot lights out but I'm going for destruction on impact and I think they will have a tendency to pinhole lighter skinned animals. I should just order my 2nd barrel now:) R & D is too much fun. I'm close to the next step which will be confirming a couple of the loads and shooting some 10 strings so i can start stretching this baby out. [/QUOTE]
