I have a 6.5 X284 built on a howa action. It will way out shoot me. I am getting better with it I am out to 600 yards and climbing .I hope I dont shoot the barrel out before I get good with it.

I know you can buy brass head stamp as 6.5-284 from Lapua, Norma, and Hornady. If Hornady is loading ammunittion it is news to me.

6.5-284 WILL be my next rifle caliber. I love the 6.5mm round.

Shato, Not knocking your groups, because 1/2-inch groups are good groups.
I just think you need to spend more "load development time" after season, before you call it good enough on that load. This is after all a custom rifle with a match grade barrel. You might just cut your group size in half?
I would try other 140-grain bullets, play with the seating depth, tryother primers, try a few more powders.
Heck if you listen to me, you will have the barrel shot out before you settle on that perfect load.:D

Have fun with it,

WK

Mine likes H4831SC and the 140 amax in Lapua brass with Fed210M primer. It will shoot 3/4"-1" at 400yds. I have not tried it past 400 yet.
