[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1759134, member: 61747"] madarcher, by the way, I have several 6.5-284's and they really do well with a long barrel and slow powder. I run 147's at 3015 53 grains rl26 in a 28" and can go up over 3100. However, I prefer the light load accuracy. I have another 28.5" that runs 147's at 3025 with 56 grains retumbo. Both run 140's easily at 3100 and both are rifles I use for hunting. The 28" was my preferred go to hunting rifle for the past several years and shot several long range practical comps with it too. If you keep the shot strings mild you should see 1500-2000 rounds and if you take care of it, I bet you can see 2000-2500. I have 1000 on both with .002 or less throat erosion. [/QUOTE]
