Dr Mike and others, this has really got me thinking, what's the 284 capable of doing with a normal hunting barrel lengths, say 22 or 24 inch. I shoot everything from 120 BT, 140 BT or AB to 160 AB. And I'm reading that R17 is a great powder choice. Can ya'll get me some data?
284 Win! Its got me thinking
