I didn't see a twist mentioned. I have a 6.5-284, which is pretty close. Mine has an 8.5 twist Krieger in a hunting wt. 26" bbl. It really likes 140 SST's and Vv 165 powder. I have a Z5 Swaro 3.5-18x44 BT with an Outdoorsmans elevation turret, calibrated for that load.
This gun, on a bench, will shoot 4 1/2" at 600 yds and progressively tighter groups back to 100 yds, where the best groups have been in the teens and twos. It also does nearly as well with the 140 Berger VLD. It clocks 2,950 fps with this load.
I've shot it in the 3,000-3,100 fps range with RL-17, but the best accuracy is at 2,950 fps with Vv 165. It will go 3,000 easily with RL-17, but starts showing pressure with enlarging groups at speeds above 3,050 fps. 3,100 fps is too hot with 1 1/2" 100 yd. groups.
