i have the hornady manual, i've downloaded the pages on this caliber from this site. i think that the new barnes manual #3 has load data for this round. i want to use 120-130 gr bullets, in a 26" barrell (tc encore). i want to push bullets at least to 3200 fps (if i can't get this out of this cartridge, tell me now, and i'll get a different barrell). in looking at the load data from the two sources i've found, i've seen discrepancies - the load data from the manual lists max loads below the starting loads seen on this page - like 5 gr of powder below. thanks a bunch! | ||

Your 6.5x.284 has just a bit less case capacity than a 6.5/06, but you can probably use starting loads for that cartridge as a reference. 3200 fps is possible, but will be stretching it, with this cartridge using a 120 grain bullet. A 129 or 130 grain bullet just won't make it at all without undesirable pressures. I say this from my experience with a .264 Winchester, which tops out about 3300 fps with a 120. | |||
