[QUOTE="naja302, post: 1011015, member: 69437"] For what its worth: I have an HS precision built Remington 700 SA with a 23" barrel in 284 win. It is a wonderful gun (and light) and I have shot 120g bullets in the 3000-3100 FPS range. 140's at 2900+ FPS. I don't think I really shot anything in the 150-160g range, but I did work up a load with the 168 berger and velocity was about 2650 FPS. I have gone back to the lighter bullets and it is now setup to match the lighter bullets to the reticle in the scope and its only good to 600 yards now, but if fills a good niche in my arsenal. If you want to shoot the long bullets do not build it on a short action. I loaded the 168 berger to the rifling and it was way too long to fit the mag (so it was a single shot that I had to even pull the bolt in order to extract unfired rounds). [/QUOTE]
