I shot some this morning from my 6.5-284. I used two loads; 57 grains Magpro and 47.4 grains of R17. Velocities should have been around 2940 but I couldn't chrono these because of where I shot them from. I also shot some regular ABs with the same load just to see. First shot at 220 yds hit the orange spot on my target, second shot in the same hole and third shot dropped almost 2" out of the group. Went to 550 on my gong and the BC didn't work. Either .712 is high or my velocities are much lower than I thought. I will shoot at 100 and see what the chrono says. So far, not impressed. They did shoot better than the regular ABs though.
