107 matchking velocity

[Roger_M]

I think i have read a couple times that the 6.5mm 142g matchkings "like" to be driven at 2950fps out of the 6.5-284. That got me to thinking... is there a velocity that the 6mm 107g matchking "likes"? I'm currently driving them in the neighbouthood of 3000 just wondering if there is accuracy to be had by backing off my load a bit.

Hi Roger there is an easy way to find out drop your loads and see if your barrel likes it usualy a barrel will have a few nodes so you should be able to get it high or slightly lower.
