[QUOTE="c_bass16, post: 868164, member: 20355"] Better off? Not as far as ballistics go. In fact, you'll probably be worse off, simply because the case is longer, and you'll be even less restricted to shorter lighter bullets. You may be better off in that you won't have to change the bolt face, but since the shoulder is farther forward than a .308 case...you're going to have to modify all your mags as well. (you'll have to remove the mag ribs) The only positive you have with choosing the .284Win is that you don't have to change the bolt face...but that's a moot point as you're not the one doing the changing anyway. In the semi-auto AR10 style platform, the SAUM is unmatched. I would venture to say that it's even going to outperform the WSM due strictly to mag restrictions and bullet choice. [/QUOTE]
