[QUOTE="Capt RB, post: 1530721, member: 85987"] In a factory savage 24" I was running 2800-2855 depending on which load was in the gun. I started @ 2.855 coal when the gun was new and ran it pretty hard for 2855fps with very low es/sd numbers. Once I was on the 2nd and 3rd reload especially I shortened up to 2.840 for 2830fps. I found out the hard way when I bought some fat necked brass and turned them for .013 I dropped to 2800fps with higher es/sd numbers. My rifle would run either right around 2750 or 2830 and up for good es/sd and very good precision. It's not a 6.5/284 or 260 ai. Running them that hard isn't a good idea. If you like speed neck them down to 6mm or 22. If you want speed in a 6.5 there are far better options Elkaholic's ss being a great option that way. [/QUOTE]
