Trying to keep cool at long range

how does youre gun group shooting a cold fowled barrel? with those speeds im geussing 6.5x284 im approaching 2900 with 4350 shooting 124 hammers out of my 260rem still not finished though thats the load i was ladder testing

No rifle is 6.5-270 AI. I would be shocked if a 6.5-284 is pushing a 147 grain more than 2950. I can shoot the 143 ELDx at 3180 and be around 1"-1.25". But I settle for 3100 for tighter groups. But the 147 are more consistent. I could of kept going with my load but for the sake of time I need this rifle ready for a goat hunt.

just curious why did you go 6.5-270AI over a 6.5-06AI? being that atleast in standard not akley the 6.5-06 is more common

Couple reason! One I like being different or having something that most people don't have. Another reason I like the .270 over a 30-06, and when you do the AI the .270 has longer necks, so a little bit better with seating. Also the Neck on a 30-06 to a 6.5 (308- .264 =0.044 difference and the .270= 0.013 so the .270 win has a lot less to be necked down and that keeps it from having any donuts and neck turning which saves me time. But from alot of help from CWT members guiding me through this, I had to shave down the shell holder to fit a .270 neck into the 6.5-06 AI.

 

I don't know how to put links on here but if you search "CWT group effort rifle build" you can see my write up on it.
