Any 6mm-284 loads out there for the 115's?

[Senna11]

I'm getting a 6mm-284 built for a LA Savage and am going to throat it to kiss the 115gr Berger H-VLD when seated to one caliber of shank/neck contact for an OAL of 3.097".

Anyone have any 115 loads for this cartridge?

I have just started in load development for the 115 DTACS in a 6-284 as well. My first range session to get an idea was as follows. All cases were primed with CCI BR2's & all bullets were 115 DTACS that have been Boron Nitrided. The cases were 6.5x284 Lapua which I necked down got rid of the donut while just barely cleaning up the necks.
WMR 49.5 - 52.0grs all loads going up in 1/2 gr. increments
RL 25 48.5 - 52.5
N165 47.0 - 51.5
H1000 49.0 - 52.0
Retumbo 52.0 - 55.5

While these were safe in my rifle you may want to start lower & work up. I shoot these in a ladder test @ 200 yards. Winds were strong enough to blow items off the shooting bench. I am going to guess somewhere between 6 -12 mph. I was only looking for good vertical considering the wind.

Thanks 95.

What kind of speeds were you reaching?

I'm getting reports that the 115's are hit and miss regarding accuracy.
All reports indicate that the 105's are consistently accurate.

I'll likely be running N570, Retumbo, and Magpro.
