20 thou off the lands
6 shots One ragged hole with my 6.5x284
Can’t wait to try them on a antelope and deer
Berger’s load data was very hot
Start at bottom end

Talked to Insite, they referred me to Neerlandia CO-OP. Got 2 boxes coming.

Post your speeds when you get them. I have a PRC and was thinking of trying the 156gr. I'm getting 2950 with the 140s with 58.3gr of H1000. Your group is looking good.

[marky_mark]

I could push them above 3000 FPS with a 6.5x284 and n570

[marky_mark]

I went with h1000 and @ 2940 FPS it’s one ragged home and sd of under 5 fps

147gr factory
0.125” group
2997fps
2956fps
2964fps

156gr 2.990 OAL 55.5gr H1000
0.23” group
2830fps
2827fps
2839fps

156gr 2.990 OAL 55gr H1000

Going to pull some factory bullets and try to get some more velocity. If I can’t I am headed to town for some N565.

Got some N565. Virgin brass.
57gr
2945
2948
2950
0.4” group

58gr
3010
2997
3017
0.9” group (faint ejector marks, one finger bolt lift)

Going to do some fine tuning, my goal was 2950fps. But appears this powder is leaving me a little more on table.

Load 1 bullet going up by .1 for the last 2 grains before max
You’ll find a flat spot where the velocity doesn’t change much
Then play with your seating depth

Not to derail this thread but just wondering what your barrel length is on your 6.5 x 284 Marky_Mark? Contemplating the same for my 6.5 x 284 is why i ask.

Thanks.

Brian

[marky_mark]

26”

I’m just building my 6.5PRC. Building it on a long action so my COAL will likely be about 3.2 ish .... finally got my mits on enough RL-26 for the barrel. Just hope it likes it.

Guys are having good luck with n565

I am very happy with it, will try for more velocity next year. Have doing development in cold, have blown primers in summer conditions before.
