[QUOTE="johnnyk, post: 623108, member: 307"] I purchased Lapua brass for mine and it has shown to be the best brass I have ever used so far. Great value. At the time all I could find was Redding 2 die NK sizer. I ran with that and it worked good for about 4 reloads then I had to have something to bump the shoulder back, so I purchased the Forster FL sizer. Both quality pieces of equipment. As a side note, if a set of the Hornady CGND had been available at the time, I would have purchased those instead. Not sure it matters with this particular caliber, it's just that accurate. I have a stock Savage model 12 BVSS in 6.5-284Norma that I really enjoy. It has been phenomenal. The first 3-shot group (bullets 3,4 & 5) out of this barrel shot a .327. I traded the BVSS stock for a VLP stock with another forum member and like it even better. I haven't tried the 140/142's in it yet but the 100, 120's and 130's have not let me down. Powder's I've tried with great accuracy; RL25, RL22, RL17, IMR4831, H4350, AA3100 - no longer available :( . Magpro did not shine in this rifle. Good luck with your build and keep us up to speed.
