Berger 156's in 6.5 x 284 norma

[Majja13]

Is there anyone playing with this yet? And if so what are you finding that is working best for you. I am not seeing a lot of data out in the wild yet. I have a savage 116 with 26 in barrel.

Thanks

Reloder 26 is getting near or over 3000 fps. Specific data is in that thread that Wedgy posted.

There is data for 153gr on Hornady's website... that will get you close idea where to start.

Thank all this will give me a starting point. I would love to try some RL-26 but I am beginning to think it is just a dream. Kinda like 4350 use to be.

I know Greyfox did a lot of testing with this bullet and got great results with RL26. If I remember of the top of my head, it was around 54 gr and getting right around 3000 fps. PM him and he'll share his load with you
