6.5-284 hornady 147 gr ELD match

[rubicon06on33s]

I am looking for some load data. Hornady told me that they did not have any. I would like to use Retumbo, or H1000. Gun is a savage 12 Fclass with 30 inch barrel.

Looking for load data also using a 26in Criterion barrel 8 twist.

Well maybe I am the 1st person to try it?
Bullets are on backorder so I will just wait and see.

Are you using a Norma chambering? Still using retumbo?
