[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1146728, member: 61747"] I have been away for quite some time and it good to see people are still goin nuts over the 6.5-284. I don't have much to add but I did shoot a test load with nosler LRAB's. I have a pet load that works for me in every one of these rifles so I just used it and sent 4 rounds to a rock at 540 yards. I guessed at .005 off the lands and it seems promising with very little vertical and grouped about .5 moa. Some time in the near future I need to spend some time tuning. As we all know there are several good powders that work. I personally like retumbo and h1000. In ladder tests the h1000 grouped all tests loads in a vertical at 3.25" at 400 yards. It is more forgiving then retumbo but just not as fast, if that is important. It does the same in my 243. For me both are so I still use retumbo mostly. Having said all that in the time I have been away from the forum I shot a competition and put lots of rounds down range. As long as your load is accurate and consistent who cares what your choices are. I think we can make it all work fine. Here are a few pictures for fun. [/QUOTE]
