[QUOTE="Frog 7, post: 339261, member: 18469"] I am building a 6.5 Creedmoor right now for hunting. The factory load for the 140 AMAX comes out at i think 2,820 at a pressure below SAAMI~57,000psi. I am sure with handloading you can push it up, but i am not confident to the speed you want. I have not found anyone talking about loads that get you the speed you are looking for from this case. May be out there, but i have not seen it. the 6.5 X 47 is ~150fps slower than the Creedmoor, so velocity wise you would start in an even deeper hole. Here are two article about guys making some things happen with 284's that may get you closer to the performance you are looking for. It is 7mm, but that may be the compromise you will need to make: [FONT=Verdana, Helvetica, Arial]284 Win Tactical Hunter [COLOR=#0000ff][U][url=http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek095.html].284 Win Tactical Hunter[/url] [/U][/COLOR] Record-setting .284 Win F-Classer [COLOR=#0000ff][U][url=http://www.6mmbr.com/gunweek088.html]Record-Setting .284 Win F-Classer[/url][/U][/COLOR][/FONT] Good luck [/QUOTE]
