[QUOTE="demarpaint, post: 147126, member: 655"] Hi and thanks in advance, I had my 6.5x284 to the range today in preparation for 1K F-Class. It has a 30" 5C Broughton Barrel 8 twist. It is amazingly accurate. I am shooting Danzec Coated 142 gr SMK bullets using 51.5 gr of 4831 SC. My velocity is averaging 2780 fps, which is a little slow. Reading I see that 2950 seems to be the magic number for 1000 yards. I was going to try 53 grains and check for pressure signs and work up to 2950 from there. There are no signs of pressure with the current load and at 100 yards it is amazingly accurate. Any information is greatly appreciated! Thanks FD [/QUOTE]
