In my 6.5-284 Norma, Savage 116 SS left hand with 22” barrel, i develop the following load. The barrel has an 8 twist. The load is 49.8 grs of RL 23, federal 210 primers, nosler brass, 127 Barnes LRX, 3.000” COL, 1 5/16” for 3 shot groups at 200 yards, SD 6.5, average velocity 2796 FPS. Mixed loads of 47, 48, 49, and 50 grains of RL 23 with 127 gr LRX averaged 2.5” at 200 yards. All shots were taken off sand bags.
Safe load in my rifle, but as always start low and work up.
My rifle is a long action with a chamber and that allows me to seat the bullets long.
Hope this is pertinent to your question.
