[QUOTE="Jud96, post: 1719999, member: 69478"] The factory loads for the 6.5 RPM look underrated compared to what it should be capable of. Their 140gr load at 3070fps isn’t much ahead of what you can load a 6.5x284 up to. If you look at factory 6.5x284 loads though, they’re around 2750-2850. In reality you can add another 150fps to what the factory 6.5x284 ammo is loaded at. Even if you can gain 100fps with handloads over factory in the RPM, that’s 3170fps with a 140gr bullet. That’s .264 Win Mag territory from the 6.5 RPM! [/QUOTE]
