Does anybody have any experience with this round? what is its effectiveness? and how is it on barrels? ive heard you could get 3700fps with 75gr V-maxs Rock | ||

You might want to consider 6mm RemAI. More bang for the buck. | ||

Used it for years with the 85 grain HPBT which worked great! Used 4831. Good Luck Speed is great but accuracy is better. | ||

I have been shooting the 6-284 for many years in various twists, my current barrel is a 30" Hart .269nk Straight cylinder 1-14" twist, I shoot the 68gr Berger Match at 4272 fps. My load is 61grns R-22 Fed 210 primer, This is my 3rd barrel, they average around 1200 Accurate rounds. Accurate meaning groups well under one half inch. I consider 30" barrel length optimum for the 6-284. If thats a problem stay with the 6mm AI. | |||

Hey Blaine, I remember you wrote about the 100 Nosler out of 6-284 for long-range, any comments on that? I see you've gone lighter and faster now. You ever try that 100 Speer? i think it's got a B.C. of .540 if i'm not mistaken. i've got some of 'em, and they look good. You know, i want a thousand yard dog, even if it's just once in my life. Yeah, turns out i am mistaken-- 100 Speer B.C.= .430 [ 04-30-2003, 11:12: Message edited by: sscoyote ] | |||

A good friend has had a .25-284 for over 30 years, and it's quite a performer. No reason 6-.284 wouldn't be also. .284 brass is thick and durable. However, I agree that the .244 Rem Improved, or the 6mm/06 would both be more economical and give equal performance. | |||

quote:I've shot a few antelope with 85-grain Partition Bullets, and it worked very well. The rifle was a 243 groundhog gun with heavy barrel, shoots consistent half-inch groups at 100 yards with medium loads and either flavor of 85-grain Nosler. It will not stabilize 117-grain VLD. I wonder if a 243 AI wouldn't have been a nice choice, but have no complaints about the 6mm-284. Tom [ 05-01-2003, 22:47: Message edited by: TomP ] | |||

Howdy SSCoyote Yup the 100's were just to hard on fur, other than the heavy jacketed stuff but i couldnt get them to group as well, i shot the 80gr Berger for awhile but after shooting out my 10 twist I decided to go with a 14 twist and go lighter on the projectiles, So far i've been real pleased, The accuracy is incredible! high 2's- low 3's at 4250 with the 68gr Berger through the 30" Hart. I'm kinda wanting another barrel in an 8 twist for my 22-284, those 80gr Berger VLD's are a coyotes worst nightmare way out yonder! Hell i thought you already tagged a few out to 1000? I'm counting the days to when i get to put my .17DT back into use. Fur season is only 6 months out and counting down! | |||
