Found a consistent load that works for my 6-284. I pissed around for way too long and have been contemplating re-barreling or just selling out period. Soooo, after a long session of studying my past notes and targets, in a last gasp effort, decided I should try some 107 Matchkings. Suppose I'll have to keep it........or raise the price..........  The ex-problem child......  My set-up at 803 yards  The results from there.....got caught in a little let-up on the far left shot...  Moved back a little more.....to 1036....  Not bad considering the twitchy 5-10 mph quartering away wind.....  I think I'll keep it closer to the front of the safe now......

I've seen some shitt fall to a 6mm/284. Pard had one and I watched him hammer a mountain goat at 400 yards, a moose at about 125, a few deer and a B&C 7' black bear at 150 yards.

Looks like that's a keeper.
What power glass is it wearing ?
