[QUOTE="300WSMMAD, post: 429705, member: 11709"] HntBambi, I have recently be through same mine field myself, I shoot a 6.5-284 in F-Class tried it on game at 500 yrds and yeah it works really well! 140 gr AMax they just dropped! BUT... Just to get a bit more "whooph" for the "ooh bit far back or DOH! not quite on the money!!":rolleyes: Lets be honest, it happens. Ive gone for the straight 284 shooting the 162 AMax 28" trueflite #4 Fluted on a Barnard action, Im waiting for a stock so at the moment Ive got it in my Manners T2. Now the velocity I was after was 2900 FPS so after running in the barrel Ive done some load testing over a Chrony,( before I continue these figures seem to good to be true and I am going to check them over another chrony before really getting too excited, and I wont give the load figures either, until Im 100% sure) but my average velocity with silky smooth bolt lift is 3166 FPS, a ES of 6 FPS with a 162 AMax the 5 shot group @ 100 measured .4 SCARY stuff aye. So on that... the 284 is a little fiddly having to neck up Lapua 6.5-284 brass then neck turning(depending on reamer) etc but a great performer all the same If I didnt already have 6.5-284 dies to use(all I needed was a Seater die and a the right size bush) I would have gone to the 280 IMP. 300WSMMAD [/QUOTE]
