[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1921602, member: 33159"] RL23 works really well in the 6.5-284 and you don't get the temp issues that RL26 can have. I learned first hand about the pressure spikes of RL26 over temps of 85 degrees in my 6.5-284. The Berger 140 VLD is pretty much a "perfect storm" of a bullet in the 6.5's. It just performs very well and gives great accuracy. The sweet spot for most 6.5-284's is 2950 fps, some down to 2900 and others up to 3000 depending upon your barrel. H4831sc is another great powder, and using others in this burn rate will work very well [/QUOTE]
