I built a Savage 110 using a 24" BHW 6.5-284 barrel. Accuracy is excellent but I just can't seem to get the velocity I see in load manuals or online forums. I shot a few ladders for velocity this morning at a temperature of 4*. All the loads were in new Lapua brass, 140 Amax, Win LRM primers, 3.08" OAL.
Hybrid 100V
48gr 2735fps
48.5gr 2747fps
49gr 2770fps
49.5gr 2844fps
50gr 2887fps
Mag Pro
55.5gr 2709fps
56gr 2768fps
56.5gr 2792fps
57gr 2823fps
Retumbo
56.5gr 2883fps (stiff bolt lift)
57gr 2887fps (stiff lift, ejector stamp in brass)
With results like this I might as well have a 260 Remington or 6.5C and burn less powder for the same velocities. IMR4350 gave subpar velocity as well. I've read H4831SC works well and plan to buy some to try but so far I'm just frustrated.
