[QUOTE="7mmTikkaShooter, post: 1709875, member: 92915"] I don’t shoot the 6.5-284 so I’m unfamiliar with the load data. Out of curiosity I went to Hodgdons online reloading data and discovered that with 4831 there are only 3 bullets listed where over 53 gr wouldn’t be over max, and those bullets are on the light end target or varmint type. Gotta ask what bullet you’re shooting and is it suitable for hunting deer? From what I’m seeing with virtually every bullet 120 gr or heavier your load of 53.6 is substantially over charged and probably dangerous. If it’s one of the lighter bullets then I’d still drop to the lower charge since those lighter bullets are not really something I’d shoot a deer with, especially past 500. The e.s. of 20 won’t likely be an issue. [/QUOTE]
