Savage F Class Loads

[indianhead]

Hi, I just got a new Savage F Class and I haven't worked up any loads yet as I'm waiting for some of this damn snow to melt. Has anyone found what their Savage F Class likes for loads, components etc ?

Mine really likes 142gr SMk's. if you do a little searching you will find some sweet loads for the 6.5-284. i cant quite remember my exact laod off hand but when I reload tomorrow I will post it up 4 ya

FWIW,

My best groups with this gun are from a 142 SMK, RL19 powder,can't remember the charge), Federal match primer, 0.001" neck tension, +0.010" in the lands.

Velocity was kicked back quite a bit for the best group. I think I was around 2800.
