nobody seems to remember the 6.5-284 anymore... LOL
there was actually 2 versions of the round, the winchester and the Norma.
the Norma become more popular for a reason.
anyway..
your rifle is setup much like my 30-06.
i poke a 152gr. home made bullet out of mine at a tick over/under close-nuff to 2800 fps. with 4064.
the wife runs another slightly heavier jacketed softer cored 150 too, only at 2650 with I-4895.
it's all the recoil she can stand to shoot very long from the bench.
you'd think i'd just buy a couple of nice 308's so i could save the extra 3 ounces and save myself a half calorie working the bolt, then add them back to the end of the barrel.
meh why bother?
the loads are easy on me and the rifle, plus i can watch whats happening through the scope.
