N560 and Berger 140

[762nato]

Shot this group @ 300 with N560 and Berger 140's in my 6.5-284. Have to admit it is good powder, the bullets are quite accuarate but sensitive as to how far they are off the lands. Next will try the Bergers with RL 25 and see if I can still get 3050 fps and this type of accuracy. Any one got a pet load they want to share? Or bullet powder combo that works well. Now that I have that rifle worked out I will be looking for another caliber to build a second rifle on, would require light recoil and good accuracy to 1000. Will be having it put together for a lady friend and she only weighs 106 lbs, any suggestions.

6mm-284 works great at 1000

6.5x284

Build a 15 lb 6.5x284 for LR for your lady friend. She could shoot it all day.

139 gr Lapua Scenars shoot very accurately with H4831. I think H4831 has a lower flame temperature than N560, so barrel life is increased. Also,there is an accuracy node for 6.5x284/140gr at about 2950-3000 fps. Works really well, and has been proven.
