The issue of barrel life with the 6.5 x 284 is dependent on the powder used. If you use H4350 or H4831 ADI powders you will get the short life listed. If you use other slower powders then the barrel life is about the same as a 284 using H4831. I routinely get about 2000 average rounds from my...

caliber choice The last big 1000 yard match I went to where the winds were really tricky was won by a 300 Saum shooting 210's, second was a 284 shooting 180's and third was a 6mmBr shooting 105's. There was only a few points between them all. The 6mmBR will compete against anything if you...

H4350 Thanks very much, will try this weekend. Steve

190 Smk Thanks for the Info. I tried 4064 and it also worked as well as Varget. I found that RE15 in my rifle didn't work as well but only tried 1 load with it as a sample. May have to retry the powder. Thanks, Steve

190 SMK's Thanks for the reply. I did try Varget and it worked well. I used 43.2 Varget, BR2 primer and Lapua brass. However, it appears to be somewhat a hot load in my rifle so I may have to reduce the charge a bit. I was shooting at about 25 degrees F and was getting shiny extractor rub...
