[QUOTE="JD284win, post: 2655300, member: 110785"] I just finished a 284 tikka build. It is plenty long enoght to make the old girl perform. If you use a SAMMI case dimension reamer it doesn't let you run the Lapua brass. It's too tight and you'll have clicker city. If you want to run Norma or Lapua brass the reamer will need to be spec'ed to that brass. Lapua has been the best of the offerings that we have tried. I run the 162 eldx at 2950fps, 180 bergers at 2800fps, 175 eldx at 2800. Those will be the velocity nodes. I get the 177HH at 2850fps. I have never tested in barrel length shorter than 24" The cartridge will need to be ran through a standard length mag. 308 length mags are too short. Top powders will be H4350, H4831sc, and Reloader 23 for bullets 162 and up. [/QUOTE]
