6.5x284 Norma recipes

[Bearcat]

Got a 6.5x284 Norma that I need some reloading recipes for.What are you guys using for powders and bullets.
??? I have been snooping around and seeing lots of guys using H1000 Retumbo H 4831 and some RL powders as well . Just wanna get some ideas while I am waiting for the brass an dies to get here.

Thanks

I have done a fair bit of reading on this case and have been loading it for a while. Mine shoots 51 grains of H4831 SC. I averaged 2802 fps in my crony yesterday. Other fellas have been having great success with IMR 4350. It's nice to shoot but I can't say Iam overly impressed by this round.

What size bullet is that? I can get better velocity out of my 6.5x47 shooting 139 scenars and 140 Bergers.

I shoot 140 gr 6.5 berger VLD bullets. It was built with the intention of sheep hunting. My 280 trumps it quite easily at this point.

What kind of chrony are you using? That velocity seems low.

I use a CED M2 I think it's pretty much on. I shot out to distance 750 yds and the drops were pretty dam close.
