Home Forums Reloading Big Game Rifles 6.5-284 Load info

My son in law purchased one and I'll be loading it for him. I'm not sure what bullet he wants to use yet, but I'm going to steer him toward the 140 Accubond. I load the 130 Accubond in my 65. PRC and my 6.5 Swede and it's been an outstanding bullet.

I'm not sure which powder to use and thought I would check here. I've checked Hodgdon, Nosler and Berger sites and am leaning toward either Hybrid 100V or H4831 sc. Neither of which I have on my bench. What's everyone else using?

I have been using a hefty load of H4831sc with 142 grain sierra bullets for target shooting in mine. Excellent accuracy and sd of velocity.

H4831sc is most accurate but Re17 the fastest

I had great accuracy and velocity with RL17 and 140 gr. Berger hunting VLD

Tag... I have one being put together. Can't wait to load for it. I am targeting the 120-130 gr bullets in mine for hunting

you do not say what rifle. or what you are shooting at. i have two 6.5-284s i load for both have remington action krieger 8.5 barrel. . i use mrp since mrp-2 is not available any more. if there was data re-26 i would say it would be a BIG winner other wise re-22 and re-19. i have shot several projectiles. 123. 136 and 139 scenar; 130 norma.

When I was competing I loaded the 142SMK over a hefty charge of RL-22 and a Federal 210Match primer in Lapua brass.

H1000 w 140s to give better barrel life - "theoretically" 😀

Lapua brass, Fed 210M, IMR 7828 with a 140 VLDH .
