6.5 mm 142 grain ABLR

[stoddy356]

I'm currently building a custom built 6.5 X 284 Norma and ordered some 6.5 mm 142 Gr. AccuBond long Range leads to load in it has any body loaded and shot these that can give me some load input and are they listed in the new nosler reloading manual. I'm putting a 26" Hart custom barrel with a 1:8 twist rate

I too just got a 6.5x284, but mines in a Savage 116. I just shot a few loads using the 142gn ABLR and RL26. I used QL to get me started. The twist is the same as mine but your COAL will make a difference in the pressure. Look in the Rifle section I just responded on my own post about that shooting with RL26.

What sorta speeds are you looking at with RL26?

I haven't shot mine through a chrono yet. Maybe tomorrow if it's not raining. QL predicts with my measurements a bit over 3000fps. I'm hoping to be over 2900 with the 142 ABLR.

That's a freight train!
