I just returned from my successful hunt in north east Nevada. I had to make a difficult stalk which covered about 3/4 of a mile the last 300 yards on our knees. I made a 400 yard shot and dropped him. He was the biggest buck we could find. We saw a lot of antelope and vast open ranges...

I hunted area 10 years ago so things have changed. I hunt Deer in area 10 unit 101 &102. The last time I hunted there all of the antelope were on the Ruby Lake Wild life Refuge,It is fenced off and no hunting is allowed. You will have cover a lot of country but if you hunt Ruby Valley try the...

It,s been 25 years since I loaded the 30x284. But as I recall I used Hornady bullets ,180gr. Seated way out. Performance was like the 30-06.gun)

Here in the Desert My hot weather load is 51.5 grs. In colder weather I use 52.5 grs of Rl.17. Both loads are Max. This fall I will be using either load depending on the weather. These are F.L. resized. The 52.5 gr. load is Necked sized. gun)

The 270 WSM is a great one. My rifle shot very well with Mag Pro and Rl 19. It loved the 140 gr. Accubonds. Most of my shooting was at long range .1 1/2" groups were common at 500 meters. My custom Shilen Barrel select match with a 1-10 twist shot extremely well. I need to turn the barrel in 2"...

The .284 case is a very strong. I would go with the .284 Win. GAP match the reamer is available from Midway. You can seat a Sierra 175 Match King out to 3.100 oal. That's what it was designed for. I have had different rifles in 6mm,6.5,30 and several in 7mm. The .284 with a long barrel holds its...

Just a note about Area 7, The majority of deer migrate south so it depends on what unit you will be hunting and the weather. I have hunted area 7 and area 10 for years and have taken some nice bucks.gun)

I have several boxes of 284 ,150 175 &168gr. bullets for sale if some is interested.gun) Nosler LRAB .

:) I have two .284 rifles, one has a I/8" and the other has a I/9' twist. I have tried the new Nosler LRAB,s in 168 and 175 gr. I can not find an accurate load for those bullets. I have tried different seating depths but no luck. Bryan Has shot them in his 284 win. I wonder how well they...

I have been hitting the Gun shows circuit and it is hit or miss at best. I keep trying but with some success. 22lr. is scarce only round nose lead mostly. I s natch up Rl 25 and 17 and 22 are hard to come buy. Nosler Accubonds are hard to get also. I hope things get back the way it was a...

Well guys , I have killed several nice big Mule deer and one Antelope and a bunch of coyotes with the .284 Win. To know it is to like it. Recently I had a Savage long savage re barreled with a SHILEN S/S 8 TWIST AND A BRAKE . I HAD IT MADE FOR LONG RANGE SHOOTING WITH THE 175 SIERRA MATCH KING...

A couple of years ago I bought a box of Lapua brass and was not impressed. It needed prepping. I think for the price they want for it. It should be fully prepped.gun)

I am a .284 Nut. I recently bought a box of Nosler custom brass in 6.5x284. I have a lot of Winchester brass but I have to weigh every case it varies from 193gr. to 213gr. I sort them and adj. loads accordingly. I have two rifles custom made . One has a long barrel 27 1/4'' and the other has a...

Good for you . I also received a tag for area 076 in N.E.NV. it took 20 plus years to draw one. If I get one it will be the second time. I will be using a custom .284 Win. with a long throat and 168 Berger VLD. It has a 27 1/4'' barrel and a I/8 twist. Shoots small little groups. I expect a long...

Nice Buck! the LRAB seem to expand well. My problem is getting them to shoot small groups on two of my rifles. Both are .284 Winchester,s, With long throats. One has an 8'' twist and the other has a 9'' twist. I have tried the 150 up to 175 grain. 1 and half groups are the norm. Both rifles...
