6.5x284 norma loads

[huntsmuleys]

My new rifle will be finished in a couple more weeks. Its a Kimber 8400 action with a 28 inch 1-8 twist pacnor barrel. I cant find a whole lot of load data for it. This is what I have to start with,

Lapua brass
H4831sc
H4350
140 grain Berger vld

Please sure some of your 6.5x284 norma loads. Thankyou.

Re: 6.5x284 norma loads

Load data for the 140 grain VLD bullet in your 6.5x284 and use CCI 200 large rifle primers. Load data was generated using Quick Load a 26 inch barrel a COAL (cartridge over all length) of 3.228 inches and your COAL and velocity could be a little different.
AS WITH ALL RELOADING APPROACH THE MAXIMUM LOADS WITH CAUTION AS ALL RIFLES AND RELOADING TECHNIQUES WILL BE DIFFERENT. If YOU CHANGE ANY OF YOUR COMPONENTS; THIS INCLUDES DIFFERENT POWDER LOT NUMBERS; YOU MUST REFIGURE YOUR LOADS BY STARTING WITH THE MINIMUM LOAD.

If we can be of any additional help feel free to contact us.

Thanks for your interest and have a great day.
