I also ran a 6.5 x284 in 1000 yard BR and had similar experiences. 3000 (even 3100) was doable, especially with RL25 but you would get vertical and lots of unexplained flyers. 2950 or so was much better.


I have to agree with your numbers. Everything I've read states 2950 is the target FPS. Mine is 2900 and shoots lights out.
