6.5-284 Load suggestions

[Ganderite]

I have a 6.5-284 with a new barrel. Same chamber reamer as the last barrel, but last year's loads don't work. It is grouping over a minute.

Tried RL22 and H1000. No luck. Bullet is the Sierra 142.

The annual matches are in two weeks. next week end is my last chance to prove a load.

Powders on hand to try are RL25, H1000, H4831SC, IMR4350.

Please suggest loads you know work. I can do some development based on that info.

48.5 gr of 4831 SC with 142 SMK and Fed Match primers ... reguards

48.0 of H-4350 or 51.0 gr of H-4831, 142 kissing the lands, and a CCI BR-2 primer.

I have found the 4350 in both my 6.5s to be more accurate, and STD as close as 9-12.

Cheers
