6.5-284 Norma loads

I have not used the bullets you've mentioned however I will say that in my last 6.5x284 varmint rig it was problematic getting the 140 Amax to shoot as fast as i would like a 140 to travel.
Max loads were a solid grain lower than other 140 class bullets such as 139 lapua otm.
My best guess is that the noslers are in the same boat as the Amax , very large bearing surface area.
The good news is that you are aware there is pressure signs.
Good luck.

If you're not set on H4350, you may want to give RL-26 a try in your 6.5-.284. I get just under 3,100 fps with charge weight of 54.0 grs. behind a 140 with absolutely no pressure signs. That's out of a 26" 1:8 twist barrel. I don't shoot the Nosler, but I do shoot the AMax on occasion without any issues. RL-26 seems to be very well-suited for the 6.5-.284 as far as velocity and case fill goes. If you can get it to group, it's great with the 140 and heavier bullets.
