    6.5 284 factory ammo

    Looking for some 6.5 284 factory ammo to try in my rifle.

    Anyone know who stocks what around the place? I know Gunworks has some of the Norma 130grain golden target.

    Just looking for what else may be around

    That would be a rebarrel not a rechamber. It would also be like buying a V8 and pulling 3 spark plug leads off.
    veitnamcam, chainsaw and stevodog like this.

    Good luck with factory 6.5 284 ammo tho. It’s a reloaders caliber for sure.

    Yes it is that in NZ
    I had few of the Norma Target. They shot pretty well but terrible ES. I pulled the rest apart for the brass and the powder varied in weight by .7 grn.
    The projectile looked like a sierra matchking.
