No Sir, I have not used Norma MRP, however, it is almost identical to RL-22 and RL-22 is one of the most accurate powders you can use in a 6.5 x 284... It is VERY dirty, but in LONG RANGE Bench it is a fav and for hunting it is a fav... If it were not so dirty, it would be a favorite in F-Open too... So IF RL-22 is all that, then Norma MRP should almost virtually duplicate (maybe with some tweaking) what RL-22 does..

Ya, it was the top performer in a 260 AI. Very very dirty though. When I switched to rl 22 I thought, wow this is clean powder. Haha. Don't let that stop you from using it. Them don't give awards for the cleanest powder.

For the 6.5x284, I think you'd have better luck with Norma 217. For the saum, I don't think it would work, and 217 didn't work for me, RL-25 might be a good choice.

Can't help with the .284.

Hate to start an argument here but, I've shot Norma powders, 230B, MRP, and MRP2 for about 4 years now, I haven't seen dirty. To me when someone says dirty, it's too much powder in the case that didn't get burned. And even if it was "dirty", was it causing a carbon buildup problem?
Cleaning powder residue out of a barrel just requires some patch work, it's not a copper fouling issue. If your gun can go 300 rounds without a clean job, but you have to run a patch through it at 150, I don't see an issue here.
