I'm getting PM's on what I am loading in the 6.5-284 so I'll post it here.

Winchester 284 case necked down.
Then worked through a K&M neck mandrel that irons out the ID of the neck. This really cuts down ES big time.
Wincheter primer.
RS Magnum powder 61.0 grains.

Everyone keeps telling that light rifles with #1 barrels can't shoot and short actions can't use the 284 case. smile
A Wyatts does help though with the longer 6.5 bullets.

Ramshot load guide suggest 62.0 grains of Magnum with a 140 grain bullet. I'm loading 61.0 grains with a 130 grain bullet so I should be fine pressure wise.
COAL is 2.900
Barrel length, 25"

140 Berger VLD's shoot at 3,050 with 50 grains of RL17.
