[QUOTE="X3MHunter, post: 323695, member: 18756"] Yes, the 284 Win. has a rebated rim that is a .308 boltface. About 2000 +- rounds from a 284 improved, possibly more depending on how you use it. But you are not going to get 3050 fps. unless you use a 30" barrel and RL17. Something else to consider is that you are not going to be able to extract a loaded round or feed from your magazine on a short action using the 180 VLD's. You need a long action to shoot 180's out of a 284 or else too much powder capacity will be compromised by seating the bullet deep enough to feed from the magazine. -X3M [/QUOTE]
