6.5x284 Average

[jghoghunter]

I'm looking to come up with the average fps that you guys are getting with your 6.5x284's. All I want to know is your fps and how long your barrel is and bullet weight.
Thanks

I do not shoot a 6.5 x 284 anymore, however, I shot 2 barrels out shooting F-Open. I shot 54.7grs of H1000 behind a 140 Hybrid with a 30" barrel at 3030 f.p.s...

Mine is a 30 inch Shilen and it runs about the same as the others posted above.

RL 17 eh ? Never tried it with the 6.5, only the 284. Looks like some more time at the bench.

Was 2860 with shortcut but RL26 went to 3k with less primer flatening than the SC slow load

I have done multiple barrels from 22"-26" with velocities from about 2920-2970fps.

Right now 146 Kula, 2995 fps, 32" barrel 1 in 8 twist. New barrel that reacts different to previous so I don't know barrel life because this barrel likes to be pushed a lot harder to shoot accurately.

Previously , 162 Kula, 2820 fps, 32" barrel, 1 in 7 1/2" twist, multiple barrels (6-7) +2000 rounds average per barrel. This is a mild load but very accurate load.

What are these Kula 146/162 bullets you speak of ?

 

[284winner]

I remember reading in a different category about some 6.5 bullets that were made by steven I believe. Are these those bullets ? If so, are they available to the public for testing. I do not shoot competition but would love to try them in my 6.5-284, especially the 160/162
