[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 1137860, member: 5219"] You asked if anyone hunts with the 284 win. Years ago it was my only rifle. I took a half dozen elk and at least a dozen deer with it. I haven't used it in recent year but it was rebarreled recently and it may be THE rifle for this year's upcoming coues wt hunt. After 4 barrels in 25 yrs I decided that it was time to get a reamer to my specs. It requires turning the Winchester brass, chamber neck is . 315 I am very pleased with the results with the reamer in my 7 lb sporter. I now do my own chambering. Used a 24" Rem 7-08 takeoff on my tang safety Ruger which is in a McMillan ultralight stock. It is shooting the 168 hunting VLDs with bullets into the lands .015". The 168's velocity is 2835 fps. I could probably get a bit more velocity but am very happy with the results. I would shoot this package out to 600 yds without hesitation on our deer. I have shot it out to 547 yds (500M) and it is very accurate. I wish you success with your endeavor. Share your results when things get finalized. [/QUOTE]
