[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1138939, member: 12193"] My dad loves the .284 and I've been thinking about building one myself. Awesome cartridge with a bit of nostalgia for me. The ballistics are pretty much a 7mm Mag minus 150 yards. I wouldn't hesitate to use it on deer out to 800 or beyond with the right bullet. The .284 suffers from the same handicap as the WSM: The heavier bullets eat up a bunch of case volume due to the short OAL. If you use a long action with the .284 and seat the bullets out further you could gain a bunch of velocity. But then if you go long action you could just build a 280 AI or 7 mag and gain even more.
