Any 284win peeps here

I'm looking into that cartridge as a just for fun with no specific use. I'm thinking about a 20-22" barrel using a twist between 9-10. Bullets between 90-150gr and possibly 165-168's. Ernie is my guess who'll have 1

Started with the 284 Win in the early 90's, center-grip XP-100.
Mine have all been 9T.
I have run from 140's-180's.
The 180's are on my F-Open Rifle (30" barrel).
140's to 168's in 15.75" to 18" barrels.
I had 3 recently, and I am down to 2 right now (Sold a XP-100).
H-4831sc has been the powder I have used in all of them.

We have three of them in the family. Two Savage 99’s and one Winchester 88. If I had the coin I would love to have a custom built on a long action (so high bc bullets could be seated out to 3”). But a .280/.280 AI would serve that purpose just as well.

A great cartridge the .284, way ahead of its time!
