[QUOTE="TOM H, post: 10046, member: 306"] I got a 6.5/284 from a guy in Utah and he said that you worked up some load for it. He send me some test targets (don't think they were yours)and I tried those loads and most groups were the same as the targets in the 5's so got a load with R-22 and groups got down to the 2's and the velocity is at 2854fps. I think he said you tried some 142 with h-1000. It was a Mike Bryant rifle anyway plan on using it for some pd and hopefully antelope. I shot a 6/284 for years but the 6.5/284 is alittle bit better. If I was doing a 1k rifle I kind of thing of the 30 cal with those lvd bullets just holds up better in the wind with the 220gr mk but there again the 338 has that 250gr mk. May want to think about the 338 ultra or 338-378. I've got a 30-378 I'm going to start working up a 200gr load for got 180 gr load and it over 3400fps. At one time I swore I'd never own a rifle that took over 100 gr of powder. Well good luck to you. [/QUOTE]
