[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2522429, member: 121677"] A 284 was my first centerfire. I shot my first mule deer and first elk with a 284. M88 carbine I still have and shoot to this day, throat doesn't look great but it still shoots as good as it ever did. 160 GameKings at a guesstimated 2600-2650 out of the carbine worked extremely well even out to 450 paces. Back when you could buy factory ammo 150 PowerPoints also killed very well. I shot more game with that M88 than I have with all my other rifles put together and I am picking up another 284 on a long action today! To really use a 284 to it's potential it is a 140 BT or 150 FB max in short action and magazine fed, in a long action and throated appropriately it really shines. 180's at 2850ish using 55ish grains of powder and magazine fed is impressive.
