Also using FGM 210M primers
Rem 700 with 27" SS barrel

I appreciate that Bobin,
I also like to hear results and people opinions
and I haven't see much here on the hide about 6.5/284
That's why I asked here

H1000. When I get a chance I'll find the good thread on 6.5x284 loads and post it

I use 56.6 in my shehane under a 142smk, and I think it is 56 in my straight case of H4831SC. Both are awesome. H4831 and H4831SC are the same powder, just the SC is cut shorter. I wouldnt thing you would have to swap powders out. They did it for metering purposes IIRC. Good luck

I am running the same load in a Savage and as posted it is a Laser, my velocity is only 3020 but everything else is the same

I started with 51g H4831SC with a 142 sierra in a Laupa case with Russian primers in a Lilja 30" target gun. Don't recall velocity but it was good enough for a 2nd place at a big NRA 1000yd regional. That is a very popular load. It also shot well in my other 6.5-.284. I have tried H4350 and it shoots well. H4350 is another popular powder with HP shooters.

I am a newbie with this caliber. Actually just sighted in my Savage LRH this past weekend. I worked up a couple of different loadings to see what might work. Best group came from lapua brass, 142 gr SMKs with Federal GM210M and 50 grains H4831. Average velocity was 2780. It was only 100 yards three shot group right at .3 inches.

I have seen great results with Mag Pro and 140 SST 's. H1000 is also a good choice.

That's good grouping bud ;
I'll go out this week and try few loads my self ,
will surely post results here

Shoot a 10 shot group and see what happens.

Shoot a 10 shot group and see what happens.

I intend to do just that. That is by the far the tell of the load, the rifle and the shooter.

I use 55.5 N165 with the 136L scenar. Bolt is stiff, but I'm popping plates at 1200.

Oh yea, almost forgot, keep the 142 SMK's below or just at 3000 fps or so for best results. You Will also be chasing the throat on that barrel faster then you might think so check length every 100 rds or so and add a little more powder to maintain velocity when things get long in the tooth. Years ago I started with 51g H4831SC and in the end I was up to 53g, (142 SMK) I think....

I'll keep this in mind , those are exactly the next components I want to try ( H4831sc and 142 SMK )
Thanks
