[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 628436, member: 5219"] IMO H4350 has been the best choice for the 284 win until Rl-17 came along. H4831 is a bit too slow and RL-15 is a bit too fast. My 284 is a 23" sporter weight bolt action. OAL is a tad more useful at 3.050". My gunsmith extended my M77 Ruger's magazine for around $75. Moly coated 150 nos bt easily got to 3000 and I used it year round even in 90 degree temps. It was capable of more but that seemed like a good spot to stop. Max loaded moly coated 160 accubond obtained 3050 fps but it was pretty much a cool weather load. Both loads were under 1/2 MOA. If you look around the net you will find that many say the amount of powder to use will just about be identical to H4350 amounts. Start low and work up. FYI RL-17 works very well in the 6mm rem and 338 RCM too. [/QUOTE]
