Thread: Short barreled 6.5-284

No experience in the 284 but have a 16" 6.5 Creedmoor and love it. About 2500 ft/s with a 129gr projectile and a mild load of 2209. Around 2700 ft/s doable with a 120gr pill and factory ammo was doing 2600 ft/s with a 129gr SST. If you want more speed, RL17 is something to look at which I will in the future.

The 120gr pill out of a 16" 6.5CM barrel gives you literally the same ballistics as a 175gr pill coming out of a 22" 308 barrel within 1000m...
