[QUOTE="Custom66, post: 892918, member: 65277"] Brent, the barrel length is 30 inches long. Sorry forgot to mention that. I know that Gunwerks loads their custom 6.5-284 ammo with Retumbo. I am sure because they get both accuracy and velocity. I think your velocity using the 140gr projectile, is respectable. It seems we always push the envelope as far as we dare. As for the Hybrid-100, I would not work any ladder up a full grain at a time, once I reach near the top of the recommended charge. If its tight groups your after, I would not try to shortcut any aspect of your hand loading! As in good brass, quality bullets, proper case prep, etc. P.S. Check for bullet runout after ammo is loaded. I like .002-.003 tops. [/QUOTE]
