[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 1477321, member: 10291"] I hunt/shoot a few 6.5x284’s, using H4831sc and Retumbo(mostly). With all the fanfare with R26, I purchased 5 pounds to try in my rifles. I had very erratic results to say the least. Accuracy and velocity was inconsistent. One session it looked great, the next session I would have difficulty replicating former results. When I returned to my former load using Retumbo all was well. My loads were 52-54gr R26, Berger 140HVLD’s, Fed210M primers . Figured I might have had a bad lot, or the 65-85F temps that I did my work-ups in was problematic. ....I ultimately decided that it wasn’t worth pursuing any further, given the solid performance of my standard loads. Before making any decisions about the performance of the rifle, IMO, the OP should try some different loads. IMO. [/QUOTE]
