I found these loads in my Cartridges of the world 9th edition.

Endeavor to Persevere

The new Barnes manual has loads for this cartridge. I think you will begin to see more new manuals with loads in them. From what I understand, the 6.5-284 has been submitted as a standard case to SAAMI. Now we need someone to start chambering for it.

Now we need someone to start chambering for it.

Make mine a Tikka deluxe 1-9 twist.
