All I can say JB, is that you must have some mystical powers or something.

In my 24" barreled Swede with modern high pressure loads, I can't get 120gr bullets as fast as you're getting 130s, and every 140 combo tried barely get to 2700fps.

But, you velocity figures for the 6.5x284 seem low compared to what guys are reporting out of their guns.

Much like your comments about getting 257 Roberts ammo to lofty levels, I have to wonder if there isn't a "fly in the soup".


I don't drink or Smoke. I spend my money on gunpowder and gasoline.
