6.5-284 WINCHESTER
The following data was developed in a Hall rifle. The barrel is from Hart, heavy, fluted and 25 inches long. It has a 9-inch twist. We mounted a Leupold 24X scope in Jewel live center rings on Kelbly bases. Winchester brass and Federal 210M primers were used for all the loads. All groups were 5 shots at 100 yards. The 100-grain Nosler Ballistic Tips broke up at about 3400 fps. Why this happened we have no idea. In the Nosler reloading handbook, they show these same bullets going over 3500 fps with no problems.
All bullets were molly coated. We used the Federal 210M primers in Winchester brass. Al groups are 5 shots at 100 yards.
