[QUOTE="wc872, post: 718576, member: 5923"] Finally made it to the range yesterday with RL33 & the 6-284. I chambered a dummy round then put a cleaning rod down the barrel to measure the usable barrel length. I added 1/2 " to this measurement for a total of 26.5". I used Rem. 9 1/2 Magnum primers for all loads. 105 Berger Hybrids w/HBN were also used for all loads. The loads other than the RL33 were loads that I had previously worked with. This is my first fast twist (1:7.5) 6-284. This is NOT a test as to how fast I can push the Bergers. I was interested in how fast the very accurate loads were. I used an Oehler 35P chrono 15 feet in front of the muzzle & added 9 fps to arrive at the muzzle velocity. Previously I had started out the RL33 testing with 56.5 grs. & worked up to yesterdays selection. 51.0 grs. RL22 = Avg. 3158 fps 55.2 grs. WMR = Avg. 3369 fps 55.0 grs Retumbo = Avg. 3289 fps 59.5 grs RL33 = Avg. 3249 fps 60.5 grs. RL33 = Avg. 3343 fps The accuracy was done @ 200 yards. These are only averages of 3 shots. The load of 60.5 grs. RL33 was the most accurate. These charges were safe in my rifle. As always start lower & work up in yours. Semper Fi [/QUOTE]
